Need a bit of time for LFS, isn't it?

It's all fine. In your tarball there will be the files recorded without the
leading slash (somewhat like mnt/lfs/...) This was intended for being a
security feature in tar to avoid overwriting the root file system by
accident. This is what you need to keep in mind in case of the need to
restore it. The restore will be done in the current directory, not in / .

I would prefer to
cd $LFS
tar -cjf /some/dir/mytarball.tar.bz2 .
because the directory nesting is not so deep in the archive. But that all is
more a matter of personal taste.
