CD mount issue in HP-UX

[Michael Sillers]

I seem to recall something about CDs created under windows requiring a special parameter - cdcase - in the mount command.

mount -o cdcase -F cdfs

Does this help any?

How, exactly, would that solve either problem
here (bad file names, bad line endings in
text files)?


> mount -o cdcase -F cdfs

"man mount_cdfs" should give the whole list.

Around here, for example:

[...]
-o specific_options
Specify options specific to the CDFS file system
type. specific_options is a list of comma separated
suboptions and/or keyword/attribute pairs intended
for the CDFS specific module of the command.

The following specific_options are valid on CDFS file
systems.

cdcase Suppress the display of version numbers.
Show and match file names as lower case.

rr Use Rock Ridge extension to the ISO-9660
file system (default).
[...]

Without a useful description of
"junk/corrupted file names", it's hard to say
if down-casing and version stripping would
solve the file name complaint. If the
RockRidge data were there, then I'd expect
"rr" to be more helpful than "cdcase". I'm
unaware of any "mount" option which would do
anything about the unpopular line endings in
the text files.

Well for starters it eliminates the multiple bad burns until you find the correct method.

Who knows what the windows machine is doing to the data? - this eliminates a wild card by downloading directly to the hp-ux host.

Hi,
Try with #fuser -ck /cdrom and again mount it and check this isuuse.

What was your exact mount command?

[Torsten.]

Did you burn the downloaded ISO directly or the contents of that ISO?

Hi,

I am not aware of exact commands since it is done at customer end. But I am aware that they had tried few options like pfs_mount , normal mount command. rr option is not supported by the OS (Version 11.23).

We have downloaded the around 14GB installable on windows machine & writing it on 2 DVDs, While writing on DVD selecting File system type option as ISO.

Thanks.

Apparently not. Which part of "use Rock
Ridge" or "don't use Joliet" was unclear?

Do you expect _us_ to ask them what they're
doing?
