Mounting cdrom

Gary Stewart_1 — Wed, 05 Jun 2002 11:49:12 GMT

Each time I try to mount a certain CD, it mounts , but when I look at the filesystem under it, each entry is in capital letters and has a ";1" after it. I know this is incorrect. What is the correct command to mount a pfs cdrom . I tried pfs_mount -o cdfs and it didn't work. There is some option I'm missing.

Thanks
Gary

Try adding the option cdcase.

Try this:

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

to unmount
/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)

Add '-o cdcase' option with the CD mount command:

# mount -F cdfs -o cdcase /dev/dsk/cxtydz /cdrom

Hi Gary

just do : mount -o cdcase /dev/rdsk/cXtXdX /cdrom

i geuss that your cd is a burn cd , or a cd that need this option .

if it oracle cd for install use the pfs mount
to mount the cd .
just keep in mind that when using pfs_mount you need to use the command pfs_umount else your computer can jet stuck ( if you use umount command on a pfs mount )

And get hold of the patches mentioned in http://forums.itrc.hp.com/cm/QuestionAnswer/1,,0x98aaba808b46d611abda0090277a778c,00.html which should make all of this cdcase and pfsmountstuff things to forget about :)

Hi Gary,

Try mount with cdcase option,

mount -o cdcase /dev/dsk/cxtydz /cdrom

to pfs_mount a cdrom,

try

nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &
nohup /usr/sbin/pfsd &
pfs_mount -o xlat=unix /dev/dsk/cxtydz /mount_point

Hope this helps.

Hi Gary

Couple of ways to do it :

1. mount -F cdfs -o cdcase /dev/dsk/cxtydz /cdrom

2. pfs_mountd &
pfsd &
pfs_mount -xno_version -x lower_ccase /dev/dsk/cxtydz /cdrom

Please do a man pfs to get more such options
