Hi Prashant,

# ps -ef| grep pfs

ASking the above output to check if you have used pfs for mounting the CD
If yes, then you need to umount it

Command is pfs_umount

2. Create a new directory and try to mount the DVD and check

# mkdir /dvdrom_test
# mount ...

[Prashant Bhushan]

No. It is not mounted using pfs.
Could you let me the steps to mount DVD using pfs?

Thanks.

[Avinash20]

pfs mount are not supported and is already in-cooperated with mount command with the specific patches

You could give a try though

# nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &
# nohup /usr/sbin/pfsd 4 &
# ps -ef | grep pfs
# pfs_mount -o xlat=unix /dev/rdsk/cXtXd0 /pfs_cdrom

Remember that you umount it

# cd /
# pfs_umount /cdrom

Let me check for the patch for that..

Hi Avinash,

It works. I can mount CD/DVD using pfs_mount on HP-UX 11.11.
one more question, how to know whether the CD/DVD is RockRidge CD/DVD?
