10 #Mount points whose filesystems are special, such as procfs or sysfs must
11 #not be in this list. While a simple find on those special filesystems should
12 #be harmless, operations such as "-exec grep something" are NOT SAFE and may

18 #hardwired paths to /tools or other unwanted references to
19 #your build system, you will usually prune any directories that don't contain
20 #files of interest, such as /tools (whose files naturally refer to /tools)
21 #and your package users' home directories (which may also test positive if
22 #you have unpacked and configured sources lying around).
23 #NOTE: The LFS-6.0 book uses a ramfs mounted on /dev and with that setup
24 #/dev does not need to be in the prune list. But since there is no requirement
25 #that /dev have its on filesystem it's better to prune it explicitly.
