can't copy file from cd rom

[ng_7]

hi, expert,

need your expertise, i am facing problem on copying file from cdrom, i mount a cd rom using following command

mount -o ro,rr /dev/dsk/c3t2d0 /cdrom

When I list the file, I notice that the file name on CDROM have a ';1' at the end of the file name, the original file is P5035661.ZIP
db1:/als# ll
total 98724
-r-xr-xr-x 1 -1 -1 50544227 Mar 22 11:53 P5035661.ZIP;1

can anyone tell me how to solve this ?

thanks

regards

Shalom ng,

You did not mount the cd correctly.

Thats why filenames display as they do and will not copy.

Knowing what kind of format the cd was sent with is key to resolving this problem.

This might be an oracle patch, so I'll give you mount instructions for that in hopes to assist you quickly.

/usr/sbin/mount -F cdfs -e -o ro,rr /dev/dsk/c3t2d0 /cdrom

Change c3t2d0 to the actual path of the cd/dvd drive.

hi, thanks for your quick response, It looks like the same,

db1:/# mount -F cdfs -e -o ro,rr /dev/dsk/c3t2d0 /cdrom
mount: mounted /dev/dsk/c3t2d0 on /cdrom
db1:/# cd cdrom
db1:/cdrom# ll
-r-xr-xr-x 1 -1 -1 50544227 Mar 22 11:53 P5035661.ZIP;1
db1:/cdrom#

i appologize for some mistake on my previous update,

"db1:/als# ll
total 98724
-r-xr-xr-x 1 -1 -1 50544227 Mar 22 11:53 P5035661.ZIP;1"

is actually db1:/cdrom

thanks

Hi NG,

What kind of HPUX version are you running?

#My CD-ROM doesn't show what I expect

It can be an Oracle CD-ROM, or a CD created on Windows, or whereever they used Rock Ridge extensions. Long names are truncated or show upper case only. Oracle tells you to use pfs_mount.

Do not use pfs_mount!. Install the Rock-Ridge extension patches instead and never worry about these problems. For HP-UX 11.00 you will need forget all about PFS and install PHKL_26448 (now superceded by PHKL_28060), PHCO_26449, and PHKL_26450 to have HP-UX recognize those file systems automatically on mount! For HP-UX 11.11 (11i) you need PHCO_25841, PHKL_26269, and PHKL_25760 (now superceded by PHKL_32035).

No need thereafter to use -o cdfs to mount anymore, provided you enter the CD drive in /etc/fstab like this:

/dev/cd0 /cdrom cdfs ro,rr,noauto 0 0

Hi,

This might have happened when you wrote the CD using some windows tools like Nero. You just need to copy the same to your HP Server and rename the same
The command is somewhat like below.

mv ./* P5035661.ZIP

Make a new directory and do the activity else another files also may renamed.

Thanks

This is normal for an ISO 9660 file system,
which was designed to accomodate various
operating systems, including VMS, where a
version number (like ";1") is a normal part
of a file specification. On some operating
systems, the CD software may hide the version
numbers and/or show the names in lower case.
On some, it doesn't.

Solve what? What's the problem? A
semi-colon is a special character to a UNIX
shell. Is that what's bothering you?

What did you try? Showing actual commands
with actual output can be more helpful than
vague descriptions like "can't do" or
"doesn't work". Did you try anything like:

cp -p '/cdrom/P5035661.ZIP;1' name_I_like

???

Or, why copy the thing at all? Doesn't this
work?

unzip '/cdrom/P5035661.ZIP;1'

Hi NG,

Can U shear me, Ur using any third party FTP software? If Ur not using any third party FTP software then use FTP (SSH Secure Shell Client). Just install Ur PC/Laptop they U easily copy any files Ur UX systems.

The file (FTP client software) size almost 5MB, thatâ s why I can not send it. My e-mail ID: info_yaqub@yahoo.com. If U needs this FTP software sends me a mail & I will try to send U ASAP.

Thanks -- Yaqub

Please use the following command when you mount the cdrom.

mount -o ro,rr,cdcase /dev/dsk/c3t2d0 /cdrom

This will take care of files being reflected in 8.3;1 format.

I faced the same issue and resolved it in this way.

disk 1 1/0/0/3/1.2.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE HP DVD-ROM 30
5
/dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /dev/rdsk/c1t2d0

mkdir cdrom1

mount /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /cdrom1

cd cdrom1
then u can install

swinstall -s /cdrom1

ok
this is the easy way
first do
ioscan then u can easily identify which disk u have to mount then make dir
then mount that disk to directory
then go to mount directory
then install

Try this, it works!!!

# mount -o ro,rr,cdcase /dev/dsk/c3t2d0 /cdrom
ll /cdrom you will get "file.zip"

# /usr/local/bin/unzip [file.zip]
# tar -xvf [file.tar]
