LFS (Linux From Scratch) hard disk partition requirement
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
I am going through the LFS documentation in order to build my flavor of firmware for our systems. Currently my host machine is Ubuntu 18.10. I have 2 hard drives /dev/sda and /dev/sdb. My Ubuntu system is running on /dev/sda which is 240 GB SSD. My /dev/sdb is 1 TB wheres I am using it as my data disk and having lot of free space.
Here I have some question.
- Do I need to do the partition in second drive for LFS?
- Is it OK to create necessary partitions for LFS from the free space of
/dev/sdbwithout clearing the whole data on that disk? - Ubuntu has the
/bin/shlinked to/bin/dashwheres the LFS requirement says/bin/sh -> /bin/bash. Do I need to change this link or can I ignore this part?

Do I need to do the partition in second drive for LFS?
The recommended approach to building an LFS system is to use an
available empty partition or, if you have enough unpartitioned space,
to create one. Source: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/chapter02/creatingpartition.html
It doesn't matter on which drive the partition is located.
Is it OK to create necessary partitions for LFS from the free space of /dev/sdb
Yes.
Ubuntu has the /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash wheres the LFS requirement says /bin/sh -> /bin/bash. Do I need to change this link or can I ignore this part?
Note that the symlinks mentioned above are required to build an LFS
system using the instructions contained within this book. Symlinks
that point to other software (such as dash, mawk, etc.) may work, but
are not tested or supported by the LFS development team, and may
require either deviation from the instructions or additional patches
to some packages. Source: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/chapter02/hostreqs.html
I recommend creating a virtual machine and using it as your LFS host. That way, you can do whatever you need to do to the "host" without potentially damaging your real host.
