The book gives the command to mount the LFS partition as: >mount -pv $LFS -v -t ext3 /dev/<xxx> $LFS >And then warns, effectively, that if you did something like: >mount -pv $LFS -v -t ext3 -o nosuid,noudev,noatime /dev/<xxx> $LFS >that you should remount it.

Hmmm, I followed the directions and typed it just as it is in the book: mkdir -pv $LFS mount -v -t ext3 /dev/<xxx> $LFS But when I ran the mount command without any parameters to see what options were set, nosuid, nodev were set by default. So in my case at least, I did have to explicitly remount. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
