Hopefully someone can shed some light.
Have an HPUX 11.11 server.
Copied an ISO image to /tmp/oradisk/
then attempted to mount the ISO image to directory /cdrom
pfs_mountd &
pfsd &
pfs_mount /tmp/oradisk/DISK1.ISO /cdrom
now when attempting to cd to /cdrom my session locks up
attempted to pfs_umount /cdrom and my session locks up.
does anyone know how to umount the /cdrom directory without having to reboot the server?
rgds,
chad
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: pfs_mountd
pfs_mountd is an outdated format that is only needed for very specific application.
I would do one of the following things:
1) Take the iso file, burn a cd/dvd and try mounting that on the HP-UX server.
1) Mount the iso file on a linux system using the following command: mount -o loop filename.iso /folder
Copy the flies system to system using our protocol.

Re: pfs_mountd
You must kill the processes in the _reverse_ order that you started them.
First kill 'pfsd' and then kill 'pfs_mountd'.
Of course, before you do the above, use 'pfs_umount' to unmount the mounted CD.
Now, if you have a system where the processor utilization is climbing, and/or 'bdf' is unresponsive, etc. you need to reboot to cure the problem.
Do _NOT_ use 'pfs_mount'. It leads to reboots; is deprecated; and is unnecessary!
There are patches for enable mounting RockRidge formats. Search the patch database for them is you need to apply them.

Re: pfs_mountd
there are no pfs or pfsd processes running
the only process running is an attempt to unmount the cdrom ... which does NOT allow me to kill
txnnm1# ps -ef | grep pfsd
root 17469 26990 0 15:02:12 pts/1 0:00 grep pfsd
txnnm1# ps -ef | grep pfs
root 2806 1 0 14:08:46 ? 0:00 pfs_umount /cdrom
root 17562 26990 0 15:02:16 pts/1 0:00 grep pfs
txnnm1#
sounds like a reboot is the only option

Re: pfs_mountd
Make sure that you are not 'cd'd into the filesystem that you are trying to unmount.
You can use:
# fuser -f /cdrom
...to see what/if any processes are using it.

Re: pfs_mountd
No am not cd'd into the directory
when attempting to cd into the /cdrom directory, it locks up my session and does NOT allow me to pfs_umount /cdrom
This is all that is displayed.
txnnm1# fuser -f /cdrom
/cdrom:
am in the process of scheduling a reboot ... however wanted to check first if there is any other way to unmount the /cdrom

Once installed, you will use the supported method: mount -orr to mount non-HP-UX CDs.

Re: pfs_mountd
When mounting a cd ... me myself always use mount.
the reason for me using pfs_mount is because am mounting an iso image
So my question is ... can an iso image be mounted using 'mount'?
if not, what is the best method to mount an iso image?
rgds,
chad

Re: pfs_mountd
If you apply the requistite patches and dispose of PFS mounts, you can do things like:
# mount -F cdfs -e -o ro,cdcase /dev/dsk/cXtYdZ /cdrom
# /usr/sbin/mount -F cdfs -e -o ro,rr /dev/dsk/cXtYdZ /cdrom
See the manpages for 'mount_cdfs(1M)'.
