error when mounting a CD

tgouble — Thu, 21 Oct 2004 08:37:25 GMT

I am running on hpux 11.23
I mounted a CD using the command :
"mount -F cdfs -o rr /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 /cdrom"
the mount does not throw any error, but when I am trying to copy (or to use) the datas to another directory, the following error occurs for some of the files :
for instance
cp: cannot access /cdrom/CORE/GENERIC/XMLIO: No such file or directory

If I check on the CD, the files do exist (with the correct case)

have u heard about such problems ?

Hi with this:

mount -F cdfs -o cdcase /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 /cdrom
or
mount -F cdfs /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 /cdrom

HI,
If the above one doesn't work then try using pfs_mount..
Hope that works.
Regards,

There should be a Rockridge extension patch also for 11.23 that handles this automagically.
At least on 11.00 I've got e.g. PHCO_26449

thanks for the answer

I tried the following cmds :
mount -F cdfs /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 /cdrom and mount -F cdfs -o dcase /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 /cdrom

but the same errors occured.

I tired to use pfs_mount (pfs_mount -t iso9660 /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 /cdrom) but the command failed after a while :
pfs_mount: giving up on /cdrom

I read that the rockridge module is included by default when installin HPUX 11.23, is that right ?

Do not use PFS...your brain will hurt trying to figure out how to make it work reliably. Do not use -o cdcase as it is a brain-dead lowercase translator and ;1 remover. The RockRidge option is -orr as in:

mount -orr /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 /cdrom

Make sure you have the latest cdfs patch.
