Hello,
Use -x or cdcase option while mounting
/usr/sbin/pfs_mount -t rrip -x unix /dev/dsk/cntndn /cdrom

mount -F cdfs -r -o cdcase /dev/dsk/cntndn /cdrom

Goodluck,

Don't. Install patches PHCO_25841, PHKL_26269, and PHKL_25760 for HP-UX 11i or patches PHKL_26448, PHKL_26450, and PHCO_26449 for HP-UX 11.00 and forget all about pfs_mount from there on! You won't regret.

Hi Luca,

have this line in /etc/pfs_fstab. If the file does not exist, create one with that name,

/dev/dsk/c6t2d0 /cdrom pfs-rrip xlat=unix 1 0

here /dev/dsk/c6t2d0 in the block device file for the cdrom and /cdrom is the mount point.

now mount the cd using this format,

nohup pfs_mountd &
nohup pfsd &
pfs_mount /cdrom

once you have used the cd, unmount it using ,

pfs_umount /cdrom

now kill the pfs processes in this order,

pfsd.rpc
pfsd
pfs_mountd.rpc
pfs_mountd

Hope this helps.

Hi Luca,

Instead of using pfs_mount, have you used the cdcase option with the mount command.

mount -o ro,cdcase -F cdfs /dev/dsk/cxdytz /SD_CDROM

Here /dev/dsk/cxtydz is the cdrom device file and /SD_CDROM is the mount point.

Also there is a patch which you can use such that you can mount the rockridge formatted oracle cd's using mount command without using pfs_mount.

Try this link to find out more about the patch.

Luca

couple of ways to do it

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

2. pfs mount like

pfs_mountd &
pfsd &
pfs_mount -x no_version x lower_case /dev/dsk/cxtydz /cdrom

you can also do a man ofs to get more options .
