CD Format

[kholikt]

Hi,

I have burn a CD using ISO9660 format. From a HP-UX 11.00 machine the long filename character are being cut off. Just wondering what is the default CD format read by HP-UX. I do not want to use pfs_mount

On 11.00 pfs_mount is the regular way, to circumvene it You need a special patch.

On my 11.11 system it's called
PHKL_28025 Rock Ridge extension for ISO-9660

I hoped I could find the correct patch for You out of the online patch text, but I wasn't lucky, no companion patch is mentioned there.

You will have to wait a short moment for someone else to fill in or look into the comp.sys.hp.hpux faq - I'm quite sure it's mentioned there.
On more thing: The earlier releases could -->>> cause system panics <<<<-- with scratched or otherwise faulty cds, so this might be the rare exception where one would chose the very newest patch version.

The default CD format is basic ISO-9660. Without patches, you only get 8.3 with all UPPERCASE filenames and the version number (;1) appended. That is the format on all CDs...you don't see it because other opsystems either remove the version and translate to lowercase. With Rock Ridge Extensions (aka, POSIX format or ECMA 168 standard), your CD can have long filenames but without THREE patches, the special option -orr is ignored. Here are the latest patches:

11.00
PHCO_26449
PHKL_26450
PHKL_28060

11.11
PHCO_25841
PHKL_26269
PHKL_32035

You are correct is disliking PFS..it is basically obsolete and too unstable for production usage.
