[ DVD ISO image creation makes files name truncated and lowercase ]

[madhavabk]

Hi All,

We are having a typical problem in using contents of DVD on HPUX.

We are creating ISO image on Windows machine, and using DVD on HPUX PARISC 11i machine.
I am using rock ridge support patches and options with mount command viz rr,cdcase options. But still file/directory names will be truncated to 8 chars and names get displayed in lowecase letters.

I hope this is not a ROCK RIDGE problem.,!.

Please help us if you have any information on new patches or any other way to create ISO image.

We cannot create ISO image on HP or solaris because it will not work on Windows machine. Hence we need a method to resolve this on OS level only.

Thanks,
Madhava

Hello madhava ,

Try using pfs_mount.

nohup pfs_mountd &
nohup pfsd &
pfs_mount -o xlat=unix /dev/dsk/cd_device /cdrom

Hi Arun,

Thanks for quick response.

I have tried using psf_mount command. But psf mount is giving up with out mounting the DVD. Hence i am not able to proceed further. Any idea how to resolve this?

Or tell me a way how to debug such things so that i can do such things for any problems later.

Thanks,
Madhava

Hi Madhava,

I am using Nero Ultra 6.3.1.25 and there are some options I alwasy use when I compile DVD for HPUX.

1 File name length Max of 31 chars ISO level 2
2 enable Joliet support
3 Relax ISO restrictions including the following
3.1 Allow path depth of more than 8 directories
3.2 allow more than 255 characters in path
3.3 do not add the `;1` file version extension

in addition there is another option "Relax Joliet restrictions"
Allow more than 64 characters for Joliet names

if you are using other CD/DVD burning software, these options maybe hide in a different place. see attachment

HI,

Thanks for inputs in creation of ISO image.
I will check with my nero burner which is of same version.

Then i will update all according to the results.

Mean while if any one can give inputs on patches needed at OS level or command level that also will help to take care of such things.

Thanks,
Madhava

You might also want to try:

mount -F cdfs -o cdcase,rr /dev/dsk/cXtXdX /cdrom

Oracle and a few other vendors of ours love doing this to us ...

Best of luck!

Hi All,

We are using cdcase and rr options with this at least we are not able to see ;1 characters in file names.

But all '-' characters are getting converted to '_' characters and with your inputs about how to ISO creation we are able to get full length of files name.

But we are having lowercase and uppercase file names translation problems.

Thanks,
Madhava
