I'm surprised by that. Google found similar error messages where a
*user* could not do things because /dev itself had the wrong
permissions (ls -ld /dev in chroot). But you should be root here in
chroot, so perms for group and other are irrelevant.
And you bound the host's /dev in 6.2.2, didn't you ?

I don't think /dev/mapper entries are the problem : if there is a
problem in the host system's fstab, it probably relates to /dev
itself. I say 'probably' because I'm not familiar with that entry
in the FAQ and I don't recall anybody mentioning permission problems
with /dev on the lists.

No, not at this stage - you have barely started building the final
LFS system. And since you didn't comment on my previous replies
that /mnt/lfs should be its own filesystem, I still doubt that you
will be able to boot your new system when you complete it. I hope
I'm wrong on that.
