CDFS mount command

Nobody's Hero — Mon, 13 Jun 2005 09:41:43 GMT

I loaded the patches as suggested to be able to stop using pfs_mount. How do I mount the cdrom in cdfs format.

I tried mount -F cdfs /dev/dsx/cxtxdx
It mounted but the cdrom still does not look correct:

mount -F cdfs /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /cdrom
ihshp4:/cdrom]# ll
total 34

You need to use cdcase while mounting..

mount -r -o cdcase /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /cdrom

-USA..

If it is a Rock-Ridge format CD, which is generally what you used the pfs junk for, then you need to do:

# mount -F cdfs -o rr /dev/dsk/c?t?d? /cdrom

# man mount_cdfs
