Hmm, You shouldn't create any directory inside /lfs. jhalfs will take care of
creating them. Also, /lfs should be owned by root, and there is no need to have
an lfs user before starting jhalfs: the user will be created by the tool.

What I suggest:
sudo rm -rf /lfs/*

(unless there is a lost+found directory in /lfs, in which case you should keep
that one).

Then run make in the cloned jhalfs dir. Answer the questions. Be sure to tick
"Rebuild files" in "General Settings", and of course to set the Build directory
to /lfs.

PS: There was no attached file. But I do not think they are needed at this
stage.
