"" Does it work if you use a partition? Is there some reason why you can't use a partition?
Andy "" 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 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
