Mount CDROM

Jai Harikrishnan — Fri, 21 Jun 2002 20:57:47 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to mount CDROM by giving the following commands.
# nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &
# nohup /usr/sbin/pfsd &
# /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd -t rrip -x unix /dev/dsk/c4t2d0 /SD_CDROM

I am getting the following error message
"usr/sbin/pfs_mountd: giving up on /SD_CDROM"

There is full permission on the /SD_CDROM directory.

Please Help!, I am running under a tight deadline.

You should run,

/usr/sbin/pfs_mount -t rrip -x unix /dev/dsk/c4t2d0 /SD_CDROM
not /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd -t rrip .......

Did pfsd get started properly when you run pfsd. Are u running hpux 10.20? If yes, install the patch PHCO_15453. For hpux 11.0, install PHCO_16438. I hope that will fix the problem.

Opps!
Sorry, the last command should read as

# /usr/sbin/pfs_mount -t rrip -x unix /dev/dsk/c4t2d0 /SD_CDROM

Thanks Arockia, for pointing it out.
I got my problem resolved by excecuting the following, from earlier posts

# nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &
# nohup /usr/sbin/pfsd &

Create and edit /etc/pfs_fstab (/dev/dsk/c4t2d0 /SD_CDROM pfs-rrip
xlat=unix 0 0)

Insert the CD
# /usr/sbin/pfs_mount /SD_CDROM

The CDROM got mounted.

Further to unmount
pfs_umount /dev/dsk/c4t2d0

Hello Jai,

you might want to install the very new CD-ROM patches which include ISO9660, High-Sierra and RockRidge Extensions into the original "mount" command - not PFS needed any more!

HTH,

there a lot of thing to trubleshoot pfs problem .

first i will check to see in your /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf has 1 on the nfs_server and client .

kill the pfs and pfs_mount and try to run it again .
you can also check the pfs patch but !!!!

i will recommend to install this patches to solve any issue with pfs .
This is good news for PFS/CDFS... At least for 11.0 and 11i! Simply apply the patch(s) use the mount command and toss PFS away. There are no initial plans to release the CDFS enhancements as a patch for 10.20. For 11i, the patch has been on the street for about a month:

PHCO_25841 s700_800 11.11 Add Rock Ridge extension to mount_cdfs(1M)

For 11.00, the patches have just hit the street:

PHKL_26448 s700_800 11.00 Y2k; Rock Ridge extension for ISO-9660
PHCO_26449 s700_800 11.00 Add Rock Ridge extension to mount_cdfs(1M)
PHKL_26450 s700_800 11.00 Rock Ridge extension for ISO-9660

So what this means is PFS goes away for 11.0 and 11.i and we can use the updated mount command.

install the patch to your system and you can leave all the issue with pfs .

i think that you are trying to install oracle database so i did a test and it work for me

The new patches are a great idea whose time is way over-due, however of the three patches required (25841, 25760, and 26269) according to the text in PHCO_25841, PHKL_25760 is listed on the patch site as unavailable. I assume this would indicate a hold for some reason and that it will be available shortly.
