KK trying to install LFS using live cd. Heres my question, I want my
final LFS distro to have this directory/partition structure
hda1 /
hda2 SWAP
hda3 /var
hda4 ext
hda5 /home
hda6 /usr
However from reading the book it tills me to mount my lfs partition to
/mnt/lfs, and dosn't mention using multiple partitions much. So im at
a loss. Im afraid that ill finish the build and have my entire
dirctory structure like this
/mnt/lfs
/mnt/lfs/var
/mnt/lfs/home
/mnt/lfs/usr
Hmm...I'm not sure. If you mount /dev/hda1 on /mnt/lfs then you can
build chapter 5 OK because that installs everything in /mnt/lfs/tools
which is only temporary and not part of the finished system. To me, the
issue is how do you mount /dev/hda6 on /usr after you've entered the
chroot environment? It's probably quite straightforward. I only put
/home on a separate partition and that's only needed after I reboot into
LFS so I've never needed to mount it in the chroot.
no problems mounting as many partitions as you want on top of /mnt/lfs -
its just a file system
eg:
/dev/hda1 /mnt/lfs
/dev/hda2 /mnt/lfs/usr
/dev/hda3 /mnt/lfs/var
/dev/hdb1 /mnt/lfs/home
/dev/hdb2 /mnt/lfs/opt
even
/dev/hdc1 /mnt/lfs/sources
if you want
it will still just be /usr /var /home etc on the file system.
You don't need to mount them inside the chroot environment as they are
already mounted /mnt/lfs your chrooting into /mnt/lfs so you'll just see
/usr.
Building chapter 5 with this configuration is no problem because a.) it
installs to /tools which is just a symlink to /mnt/lfs/tools b.) what
difference to chapter 5 or 6 or any of the books is installing to a file
system of /mnt/lfs called /usr or a directory of /mnt/lfs called /usr ?
the file system is still /usr (/mnt/lfs/usr) ?
It works fine.
