<title>Mounting the New Partition</title>
<para>Now that a file system has been created, the partition needs to
be made accessible. In order to do this, the partition needs to be
mounted at a chosen mount point. For the purposes of this book, it is
assumed that the file system is mounted under the directory specified by the
<envar>LFS</envar> envronment variable as described in the previous section.
</para>
<para>Create the mount point and mount the LFS file system by running:</para>
<screen role="nodump"><userinput>mkdir -pv $LFS
mount -v -t ext4 /dev/<replaceable>&lt;xxx&gt;</replaceable> $LFS</userinput></screen>
<para>Replace <replaceable>&lt;xxx&gt;</replaceable> with the designation of the LFS
partition.</para>
<para>If using multiple partitions for LFS (e.g., one for <filename
class="directory">/</filename> and another for <filename
class="directory">/usr</filename>), mount them using:</para>
<screen role="nodump"><userinput>mkdir -pv $LFS
mount -v -t ext4 /dev/<replaceable>&lt;xxx&gt;</replaceable> $LFS
mkdir -v $LFS/usr
mount -v -t ext4 /dev/<replaceable>&lt;yyy&gt;</replaceable> $LFS/usr</userinput></screen>
<para>Replace <replaceable>&lt;xxx&gt;</replaceable> and
<replaceable>&lt;yyy&gt;</replaceable> with the appropriate partition
names.</para>
<para>Ensure that this new partition is not mounted with permissions that are
too restrictive (such as the <option>nosuid</option> or
<option>nodev</option> options). Run the <command>mount</command> command
without any parameters to see what options are set for the mounted LFS
partition. If <option>nosuid</option> and/or <option>nodev</option> are set,
the partition will need to be remounted.</para>
<para>If you are using a <systemitem
class="filesystem">swap</systemitem> partition, ensure that it is enabled
using the <command>swapon</command> command:</para>
<screen role="nodump"><userinput>/sbin/swapon -v /dev/<replaceable>&lt;zzz&gt;</replaceable></userinput></screen>
<para>Replace <replaceable>&lt;zzz&gt;</replaceable> with the name of the
<systemitem class="filesystem">swap</systemitem> partition.</para>
<para>Now that there is an established place to work, it is time to
download the packages.</para>
