I think you are right Dan, but parted is not installed (yet) in my LFS :-) .
Regarding the output of the 'cat /proc/mounts in my case I have exactly the
same output when in chroot
and when in normal host, I guess because, it is a copy of the normal host as
per step '6.2.3. Mounting Virtual Kernel File Systems' (if someone knows
better, please, correct me).
One thing that I noticed in my lfs, is that /proc/mounts in normal host shows
me this for my lfs partition
/dev/sda2 /mnt/lfs ext4 rw,relatime,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0
and mount returns this
/dev/sda2 on /mnt/lfs type ext4 (rw)
when in chroot /proc/mounts returns
/dev/sda2 / ext4 rw,relatime,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0
and mount returns
/dev/sda2 on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,barrier=1,data=ordered)
which looks correct to me as it matches the normal host output.
The thing changes when running df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 9.2G 4.1G 4.6G 48% /
The info is correct but this time the partition name changed to /dev/sda1 and
that is where my problem started
and why I started this thread. I don't know if this is an expected behavior
when df is run under chroot...
