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 $LFS
mount: solo root puede usar la opción «-typ/es»

/mount -v /dev/sda7 $LFS
mount: 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/./

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!!



Why not stick to the book at 1st, already you are having trouble. If you do build in home still root will have to mount it,
permisions will be past to user lfs
