Please let me know how to mount the oracle cd on HP using pfs.

You could try searching the forums: use the search button from the gray box on the left, key in pfs_mount, press the search button. Believe me, this is a very popular topic here and you'll get lots of hits with excellent advice.

Hi,

If you are using 11.00 or 11.11 you could best be using these patches to use the Rock ridge extensions for mounting this CD.

PHKL_26520 11.11
PHKL_26450 11.00

Hi

Use pfs_mount.

1. nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &
2. nohup /usr/sbin/pfsd &
3. /usr/sbin/pfs_mount -t rrip -x unix /dev/dsk/c4t2d0 /SD_CDROM
4. /usr/sbin/pfs_umnount /SD_CDROM

I had heard (think I got an e-mail from HP) there were some problems with the rock-ridge patches. Has anybody experienced this?

Cheers
Keely

Hi,

Have not heard about the problems.

There are two other patches as well.

PHCO_26449 11.00
PHCO_25841 11.11

Add Rock Ridge extension to mount_cdfs patches.

Hi,

I've just done it last week !

Enter the following commands :
nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &
nohup /usr/sbin/pfsd &
pfs_mount -o xlat=unix /dev/rdsk/c3t2d0 /cdrom

c3t2d0 depends of your hardware.

Hope this helps.

Laurent.

With the new mount/cdfs patches, the mount command would be:
# mount -F cdfs -o rr /dev/dsk/c#d#t# /cdrom
where - o rr = rockridge

There are 3 patches each for 11.0 and 11i to replace the (rather unstable) PFS code. PFS uses local NFS to provide RockRidge translation missing from native HP-UX cdfs subsystem. The 3 patches work very well and totally eliminate all the problems with PFS, especially the hangs due to startup errors and NFS bugs.

However, one of the patches was recalled as it can cause a system crash due to an unusual format that some CDs might have. The 3 patches are:

11.0 - PHKL_26448 PHCO_26449 and PHKL_26450
11.11 - PHKL_26269 PHKL_25841 PHKL_25760

All 3 must be installed at the same time for the feature to work (ie, mount -o rr) but the 2 recalled patches (PHKL_26448 and PHKL_25760) should be removed from production systems. Look over the warnings in either of those patches. NOTE: to find recalled or obsolete/superceeded patches, change the search criteria from Keyword to PatchID's in the ITRC patch area.

There is no known fix date for either set...
