Reading the new instructions, it seems to me that in case /dev/shm is not a link, and /dev is not a tmpfs (could be the case on old or custom distros), then $LFS/dev/shm is a disk directory, instead of a tmpfs.
Of course, it is possible that right now, nothing in LFS uses /dev/shm, but who knowswhat may happen later? I suggest changing the last instructions on the "6.2. Preparing Virtual KernelFile Systems" to: if [ -h $LFS/dev/shm ]; then mkdir -pv $LFS/$(readlink $LFS/dev/shm) else mount -vt tmpfs shm $LFS/dev/shm fi Pierre -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
