Cdrom truncating file names after patch files installed

[Monte Heeren]

Cdrom is truncating files to 8 characters.
I have the following patch files installed:
PHCO_25841
PHKL_26269
PHKL_28025

Working on HP9000 box.
I've read all the posts in this forum about cdrom truncation, but I'm still having the problem. Do not want to use the pfs commands because they are dangerous.

The file names are ok if you look at the cd on a windows box.

----------------- -------------
BDMA bdma
DBLD dbld
Documantation 9.40 documant
ICONNECT iconnect
JDBC jdbc
README.HTML readme.htm
SERVER server
ids_install ids_inst
images images

I've tried:
mount -F cdfs -o cdcase /dev/dsk/c3t2d0 /cdrom

Is there a mount command I can use to see the full file name on the cdrom?

Hi,

Please try yo mount the cdrom using the rr (rockridge) option.

# umount /cdrom
# mount -F cdfs -o rr /dev/dsk/c3t2d0 /cdrom

Best regards,
Robert-Jan

Hi Monte:

# /usr/sbin/mount -F cdfs -e -o ro,rr /dev/dskcXtYdZ

BTW, there are newer versions of these patches available.

Regards!

Robert-Jan,
Tried the -o rr option, and still no luck.

James,
Tried the -e -o ro,rr option, and still no luck.

Have opened a case number with HP.
They think it is the way the cd was created.

I'll let you know.

Thank you for the reply!

Monte.

lalb,
Do not want to try the pfs commands because they are too dangerous.

Thanks for the reply though.

PHKL_28025 was replaced by PHKL_32035 but this may not fix your problem. These 3 patches work together but if any of them were not completely installed, the -orr option (crucial to mounting the CDROM in the proper format) is silently ignored. Check the state of your patches. IMPORTANT: only use -orr and not -ocdcase. -ocdcase is an hack to change 8.3 format from UPPER to lowercase and strips the ;1 revision number, but it doesn't play well with -orr.

Also, if you created this on a PC, there MANY different CDROM formats such as ISO-9660, RockRidge (or ECMA 168), Joliet, and so on. Some PC CD writing software is awful in describing the format choices, in many cases vagurly describing the possible usage of the CD but not the actual format. Do NOT use Joliet format for anything except PC-to-PC stuff. ISO 9660 is the all UPPERCASE.XXX;1 format, the original CDROM standard (and still recorded on every CDROM. RockRidge defines MiXeDcAsE and long filenames, the most interchangeable format.
