I ask because I'm building for raspberry pi and CLFS with our  
bootscripts using the PiLFS as a guide.

CLFS and LFS bootscripts have differences.

I ran across this discrepency when building wayland for it.

/run/shm is a link /to /dev/shm

createfiles with LFS bootscripts is to create /run/shm/wayland.

With out bootscripts, /run/shm doesn't even exist so /run/shm/wayland  
can't exist.

I have to do this with our bootscript in /etc/rc.d/iinit.d/mountkernfs  
after mkdir -p /dev/{pts,shm}:

ln -s /dev/shm /run/shm
mkdir /run/shm/wayland

I am aware of differences when using LFS and CLFS boot scripts and I  
can fix this normally, but I'm writing up instructions for a CLFS  
build with the Raspberry Pi using CLFS and wayland and well, our  
bootscripts need some attention.

Sincerely,

William Harrington
