CDROM difficulty

[Jack Werner]

A CD produced by and for PCs has "Interchange Level 1" specified, and I have not yet found any way on HP/UX to get the "long" filenames to show. HELP! My goal is to mount the CD under HP/UX and override or ignore the specified Interchange Level. Thanks in advance

Jack,

You can try using the "pfs_mount" command to mount the CD-ROM. The syntax would be similar to:

pfs_mount /dev/dsk/cXdYtZ /cdrom

You may also want to add the option "-t rrip" if your CD has Rock Ridge extensions or "-t hsfs" if your CD has High Sierra extensions.

I hope this helps.

Hi Jack,

in additon to what Ken suggested I wanted to make you aware of starting the daemons first before using pfs_mount.

The daemons have to be strated in the following order:

nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd&
nohup /usr/sbin/pfsd&

Check the patchdatabase which patch for pfs you need for your OS and install the appropiate one first. PFS has its "moments". Try to read up on it a bit more either here in the forums or check www.docs.hp.com for more info.
