fstab I have:
/dev/sda6 /mnt/lfs ext4 noauto 1 2
I also have a script, mount-virt.sh:
#!/bin/bash
function mountbind
{
if ! mountpoint $LFS/$1 >/dev/null; then
$SUDO mount --bind /$1 $LFS/$1
echo $LFS/$1 mounted
else
echo $LFS/$1 already mounted
fi
}
function mounttype
{
if ! mountpoint $LFS/$1 >/dev/null; then
$SUDO mount -t $2 $3 $4 $5 $LFS/$1
echo $LFS/$1 mounted
else
echo $LFS/$1 already mounted
fi
}
if [ $EUID -ne 0 ]; then
SUDO=sudo
else
SUDO=""
fi
if [ x$LFS == x ]; then
echo "LFS not set"
exit 1
fi
mountbind dev
mounttype dev/pts devpts devpts -o gid=5,mode=620
mounttype proc proc proc
mounttype sys sysfs sysfs
mounttype run tmpfs run
mkdir $LFS/run/shm
-----------
I also have a parallel umount-virt.sh script.
I do have an alias in ~/.bashrc
alias lfs='sudo /usr/sbin/chroot /mnt/lfs /usr/bin/env -i HOME=/root
TERM="$TERM" PS1="\u:\w\\\\$ " PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin /bin/bash
--login'
but that's for after Chapter 6. It would need to be modified to add
/tools/bin to the PATH and other commands as in Section 6.4 before Chapter
6 is complete.
