mount - no version numbers

Fred Martin_1 — Fri, 08 Jun 2001 14:55:49 GMT

Using HP-UX 10.20, when I mount a CD-ROM, I see file names with version numbers, like:

README.TXT;1

Isn't there an option available to remove the version? I can't get to the files. There is an install script on the CD that is failing for the same reason.

Hi Fred:

It sounds like you need to do a PFS-style mount of the CDROM. Knowledge Base document #KBAN00000252 has good instructions for doing this.

I've seen this when mounting cds created on a windows system that are wrapped iso filesystems.

Hi Fred

Use pfs_mount as :

pfs_mount -x lower_case -x no_version /dev/dsk/cXtYdZ /test

, or you can also do man pages .

mount -f cdfs -o cdcase /dev/dsk/cXtYdZ /test
is also a solution .

Hi Fred,

pfs_mount will do it but you can also

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

to remove the version number.

I would try the 'mount -f cdfs -o cdcase /dev/dsk/c?t?d? /cdrom' first. That should work for you. I try to avoid pfs_mount if I can. It's a pain to deal with, at least for me.

Here's what worked:

mount -F cdfs -o cdcase /dev/dsk/c?t?d? /cdrom

The -o option is what was needed.
