For the next time (if you build LFS again from such a distro), when you become root to set things up at the start, if the filesystem is already mounted you can just mkdir -pv /mnt/lfs and mount --bind /media/username/whatever /mnt/lfs bind mounting is very useful ;) I sometimes use it when I want to build in a directory to test/debug possible changes in my LFS buildscripts. ĸen -- I live in a city.
