<title>Mounting the new partition</title>

<?dbhtml filename="mounting.html" dir="chapter04"?>

|
|
<para>Now that we have created a file system, it is ready for use. All we have
|
|
to do to be able to access the partition (as in reading data from and writing
|
|
data to) is mount it. If it is mounted under /mnt/lfs, this partition can
|
|
be accessed by cd'ing to the /mnt/lfs directory. This book will assume
|
|
that the partition was mounted under /mnt/lfs. It doesn't matter which
|
|
directory is chosen, just make sure you remember what you chose.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Create the /mnt/lfs directory by running:</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><screen><userinput>mkdir -p /mnt/lfs</userinput></screen></para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Now mount the LFS partition by running:</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><screen><userinput>mount /dev/xxx /mnt/lfs</userinput></screen></para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Replace <quote>xxx</quote> by the partition's designation (like hda11).</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>This directory (/mnt/lfs) is the $LFS variable you have read about
|
|
back in chapter 2. If you were planning to make use of the $LFS environment
|
|
variable, <userinput>export LFS=/mnt/lfs</userinput> has to be executed
|
|
now.</para>
