Does it work if you use a partition? Is there some reason why you can't
use a partition?

I was advised against doing so on the IRC channel, so as to save space, 
etc. There is no reason as to why i cannot use a partition, however i am 
not exactly comfortable at setting up partition tables, and i want to 
avoid (if possible) rebuilding the entire system, as no doubt i would 
have to do if i re-partitioned the drive.

Also, if it helps diagnose the issue, i am mounting (again, on the 
advice of people on the IRC) the drive as ext2, not 3 (so i would mount 
it with:
mount -v -t ext2 /dev/sdb /mnt/lfs
)
they also advised me to add the noatime and sync options to the 
/etc/fstab file for the root partition, as so:
/dev/sdb / ext2 noatime,sync 0 1
