not understand format of CD

[Efim Kushnir]

Hello all , how I can ger the CD-ROM in Rock-Ridge format in HP-UX 11.x ?

Hi

Edit /etc/pfs_fstab to read:
/dev/dsk/c3t2d0 /cdrom pfs-rrip xlat=unix 10
where c3t2d0 is your cdrom device.

Then start the pfs daemons:

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

And mount the CD
#pfs_mount /cdrom

Hi,

You will need to have nfs installed to use pfs_mount.

HP promised a patch by the end of May 2002, that would integrate the RRIP into the OS/mount, so the cdrom formats would be transparant. Check begin June on the SUM if QPK is available and order that immediately :)

I've never had luck with the pfs_mount, I use:

mount -F cdfs -r -o cdcase /dev/dsk/c0t1d0 /cdrom

where c0t1d0 is your cdrom drive.

Not having luck has nothing to do with RR format Cd's, nor pfs_mount.
pfs_mount requires two daemons to be running, and in the right order.

I have attached a boot script I install on my HP's, which takes care of the dependancies. It relies on a file called pfs in /etc/rc.config.d which looks like...(sorry, can only attach one file).
#####
# pfs configuration: set to a non-zero value to
# initiate pfsd and pfs_mountd at run_level 2
#
# Installed at /etc/rc.config.d/pfs
#
RUN_PFS_SERVER=1
# Set the number of PFS daemons to run
PFS_DAEMONS=4

If these daemons are not started in proper order, or not at all then pfs_mount will fail. Make sure that you pfs_umount ASAP, as a regular umount will attempt to umount, but of course hang. This in turn causes the device to lock until reboot.

Regards,
Shannon

Would that also be solved in the RRIP patches for 11i? Cannot check, only have 11.00.
