Hey everyone, I'm trying to mount a partition i created named sda3 which has a ext3 file system and I'm using Ubuntu 8.04. I'm an undergrad computer science major and have been using an Ubuntu system for a while but I realized that I don't really know much about the way a linux system works. Thats when I stumbled upon a site, and a book, called linux from scratch that guides you through building a lightweight linux system. I obviously got through partitioning the drive but when it comes to mounting the instructions say the commands are
create a mount point and assign it the LSF variable:
export LFS=/mnt/lfs
create the mount point and mount the LFS file system:
mkdir -pv $LFS
mount -v -t ext3 /dev/sda3 $LFS
when i run the mkdir command it says there is a missing operand, does anyone know how the code should really be implemented?
