MOUNTING ORACLE CDS ISO9660

[Michael Gretton]

Hello:

I am running hp-ux 11.00 and I am trying to mount and Oracle CD that is is in this RockRidge format. I have heard a bit of history on why this format is causing me problems. It is shortening the file names to 8.3;1 extensions. I am hearing conflicting things about what I should do to mount this CD correctly. I am trying to follow people's advice from the hp-ux admin site but I am getting errors. One of them is as follows: "No PFSD's available" Does anyone have step by step instruction on what I need to do to mount this CD correctly?

Thanks in advance,

Mike

Hi Michael:

Take a look at document #KBAN00000252 (PFS to mount Oracle, Rockridge and most PC formatted CD-ROM 11.x).

try to use:
pfs_mount -f -t iso9660 /dev/rdsk/c0txdx /cd_rom

Hi,
in short:

nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &
nohup /usr/sbin/pfsd &
/usr/sbin/pfs_mount ?t rrip ?x unix /dev/dsk/c9t9d0 /cdrom

should be documented in the CD leaflet however.
good luck,
Thierry.

Sorry... i have forgotten:

you have to start the pfs daemon before using the command i gave you in the previous message:
nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &
nohup /usr/sbin/pfsd &
