Sure, so use sudo to create the user lfs, format and mount the
partition, create the folders /mnt/lfs/sources and /mnt/lfs/tools,
chown then so they are owned by lfs and create the /tools
=> /mnt/lfs/tools symlink

chown -R lfs /mnt/lfs/{sources,tools} may work, I don't know.
The detrimental effect of compiling as root is that root can install
files anywhere and so may damage your host system.
