copying file from CD to /patches directory

[chad_c]

Hi. We are running an HPUX11.11 box. We mounted a CD that contains the June O6 Gold Pack. However we are unable to copy the file to the /patches directory.

We mounted by doing this command:

Marty # mount -r -F cdfs /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 /CDROM
Marty # pwd
/CDROM
Marty # ll

When we attempt to copy the GOlD pack from the cd we get this:

Marty # cp GOL* /patches
cp: bad copy to /patches/GOL_0002.110;1: read: I/O error

Can anyone shed some light on why the file name is GOL_0002.110;1 and how to copy from the CD to the /patches directory?

Regards,
Chad

you need to use swcopy ( just execute swcopy to start interactive session)..

Please post the error if there are any after executing swcopy.

Hi.....tried the above....got the following

"Marty:/SD_CDROM/": this target is located on a read only file system, and cannot be opened for writing.

can anyone shed some light...usually we are able to cp directly from the contents of the disk

regards,
chad

Hi,

don't forget to umount the CD before following Mriduls advice!

As per the message "Marty:/SD_CDROM/": this target is located on a read only file system, and cannot be opened for writing."

The /SD_CDROM can not be modified, only read operation could be performed. Yuo try create a new mount point on another filesystem where you could copy other files also then try copying it.

Hi,

Think the problem might be due to the ;1. Try mounting your CD as follows

mount -F cdfs -o cdcase /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 /cdrom

cd /cdrom then do your copy the -o cdcase will covert the files to lowercase and strip off the ;1
