Hello everyone, this is my very first message on a mailing list so please excuse me if something wrong. I searched through archive and couldn't find an answer maybe because it is a very silly issue, but it is keeping me stuck here.
I created my working dir under my* /home/david* directory. In fact, my $LFS variable is set to* /home/david/lfs* as far as I can see with *echo $LFS*. When I try to mount it with *mount -v -t ext4 /dev/sda7 $LFS *it says that only *root *can use -types. Ok, I remove the type and it keeps complaining about that only *root *can do that. *mount -v -t ext4 /dev/sda7 $LFSmount: solo root puede usar la opción «-typ* es» *mount -v /dev/sda7 $LFSmount: solo root puede hace eso* Of couruse I can type *sudo mount -v -t ext4 /dev/sda7 $LFS *but root will take ownership of the */home/david/lfs *directory and forces me to type *sudo* before any command beyond chapter 2.7 to work inside that directory *.* *-rw-r--r-- 1 david david 8980 nov 22 23:45 examples.desktopdrwxr-xr-x 2 david david 4096 nov 23 00:47 Imágenesdrwxrwxr-x 2 david david 4096 dic 16 17:31 lfs-rw-rw-r-- 1 david david 167 dic 15 16:37 library-check.shdrwxr-xr-x 2 david david 4096 nov 23 00:47 Música* *-rw-r--r-- 1 david david 8980 nov 22 23:45 examples.desktopdrwxr-xr-x 2 david david 4096 nov 23 00:47 Imágenesdrwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 dic 16 17:26 lfs-rw-rw-r-- 1 david david 167 dic 15 16:37 library-check.shdrwxr-xr-x 2 david david 4096 nov 23 00:47 Músi*ca I can also do *sudo su *and work with that user but it hasn't the $LFS variable set (I don't know how to do that in *.bashrc*, I set it for user *david *with that method, but can't set it for *root*) Now I wonder if I should try to fix it and make user *david* able to mount from command line or I should take the *sudo *way. If I choose the *sudo *way, will it have some impact further in the book? Having that folder owned by *root* instead of *david* could cause some issue further in the book? Thanks a lot!!
