I just finished building LFS 6.3 and everything is well. It starts up
fine if all directories are on one parition. However, I plan to use
several partitions for some directories due to security reasons. Some
time ago, I tried the following scheme with LFS 6.1, and it worked fine:
/dev/hda1 /boot
/dev/hda6 /{etc,bin,sbin,lib,dev,opt,srv,root,media,mnt}
/dev/hda7 /usr
/dev/hda8 /home
/dev/hda9 /var
/dev/hda10 /var/mail
/dev/hda11 /tmp
Unfortunately, as soon as /usr is in a separate partition, the LFS 6.3
bootscripts halt the system with the following error:
Setting the console log level to 7... [ OK ]
/etc/rc.d/rcsysinit.d/S05modules: line 27: egrep: command not found
Populating /dev with device nodes...
/etc/rc.d/rcsysinit.d/S10udev: line 21: grep: command not found [ FAIL
]
FAILURE:
Unable to create devices without a SysFS filesystem
The /etc/fstab, of course, reflects the structure above (works for LFS
6.1 but fails for LFS 6.3):
/dev/hda6 / ext3 defaults
1 1
/dev/hda2 swap swap pri=1
0 0
/dev/hda1 /boot ext3 defaults
1 1
/dev/hda7 /usr ext3 defaults
1 1
/dev/hda8 /home ext3 defaults
1 1
/dev/hda9 /var ext3 defaults
1 1
/dev/hda10 /var/mail ext3 defaults
1 1
/dev/hda11 /tmp ext3 defaults
1 1
proc /proc proc defaults
0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults
0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=4,mode=620 0 0
shm /dev/shm etmpfs defaults 0
0
Any ideas? Thanks for your help!
p.s. How can I reply to an answer without starting a new thread?
