pfs_mount

Darren Cook_1 — Fri, 26 Oct 2001 15:15:49 GMT

I pfs mount a cdrom to install oracle 7.3.4 (remember that!!). When I try and install I get a "NFS server pluto not responding still trying" error and the installer hangs!
I am now trying to copy the CD to the hard-drive, and I get the same problem. What the hell is going on!!

Here is the process I use to get a pfs mount to work:

vi /etc/pfs_fstab and verify:
/dev/dsk/cntndn /cdrom pfs-rrip xlat=unix 0 0
(or put these options on command line)
/usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &
/usr/sbin/pfsd &
/usr/sbin/pfs_mount /cdrom

/usr/sbin/pfs_umount /cdrom
ps ???ef|grep pfs
kill ???9 (pfsd)
kill ???9 (pfs_mountd)

pfs_umount ???c (cleanup files if have trouble pfs mounting)

pfs is a pain a lot of the time and has caused many "What the hell" feelings, everything has to be done in the right order or else you'll have problems.

Hope this helps, TGIF
