failed to change ownership of '/mnt/lfs/tools' from lfs:root to root:root

I'm sure there is an answer for this somewhere, but I'm unable to find it. I'm doing the Linux from Scratch book version 12.1, building from a slackware host system. I'm at the chapter where I'm supposed to change the ownership of the file system to root with the command;

Code:chown -R root:root $LFS/{usr,lib,var,etc,bin,sbin,tools}I get the following response for all the files ;
Code:chown: changing ownership of '/mnt/lfs/tools': Operation not permittedCode:failed to change ownership of '/mnt/lfs/tools' from lfs:root to root:rootI hope someone can give some direction to go to try to solve this.

Thanks in advance for any help.
