Hello, I have been trying to create a /usr/src partition to help streamline the LFS install. things were going according to plan in the beginning. I made the necessary partitions for the LFS system, I then went to create ext4 file systems for the perspective partitions, create what I believe were symbolic links, and mount the file systems to begin building and installing the system.
The issue came up to when I was making the directory and mounting it to $LFS. here is the log from "dmesg | tail": [ 100.614418] init: plymouth-stop pre-start process (1670) terminated with status 1 [ 104.172355] systemd-logind[749]: Failed to start unit [email protected]: Unknown unit: [email protected] [ 104.172442] systemd-logind[749]: Failed to start user service: Unknown unit: [email protected] [ 104.217976] systemd-logind[749]: New session c2 of user william.

Opts: (null) [ 4452.054473] EXT4-fs (sdb4): VFS: Can't find ext4 filesystem Now after seeing this I issued the command "sudo mkdir -v $LFS/usr/src" I received the error "mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/usr/src’: File exists" While the file definitely exists on /dev/sda. It does not exist on /dev/sdb. My best guess is that the system is not caring where it is, only that it exist and cannot create another /usr/src for reasons beyond my understanding. I've posted my partition table just in case I screwed up there as well. Table: /dev/sdb1 2048 206847 204800 100M Linux reserved (/boot) /dev/sdb2 206848 21178367 20971520 10G Linux root (x86) (/) /dev/sdb3 21178368 126035967 104857600 50G Linux home (/home)
/dev/sdb4 126035968 188950527 62914560 30G Linux filesystem (/usr/src)
/dev/sdb5 188950528 199436287 10485760 5G Linux swap (Need I point out the obvious?) [partitions are on a 100 GB virtual disk drive] The system I am using to build my LFS install is xubuntu 14.10 x86 My machine is VirtualBox, running in software hypervisor mode due to lack of VT-x. graphics are 128 MB 3D accelerated, with 3.5 G of RAM alloted to the machine. Guest additions is installed, as well as an additional driver specifically for x86 virtualization. (otherwise I would never get anywhere, the VM would be ridiculously slow...) I hope this paints a clear picture of what I'm dealing with, let me know if more info. is needed.
