Actually were using the host's mount at that point unless your adding /tools/bin to the root user path (which is not in the book I might add), since su'ing to root even from the lfs user the path does not carry over, /tools/bin is lost. Here's results from a little test I just did: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ export PATH=/tools/bin:$PATH [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ echo $PATH /tools/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ type -p mount /tools/bin/mount [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ su root Password: su: Authentication failure Sorry.
