filename issue on a mounted cd

[Jason Morgan_4]

v2500 running HPUX11.0

Not all but some of the files on my cd have a period following the correct file name. Does anyone know why this is?

I have mounted the cd with these different options with the same results.

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

The last option makes all my files show up in uppercase as well.

Please Help.

Hi Jason,

Please make sure you have the following three patches installed on your system to enable Rock Ridge format CDs:

PHKL_28060 Y2k; Rock Ridge extension for ISO-9660
PHKL_26450 Rock Ridge extension for ISO-9660
PHCO_26449 Add Rock Ridge extension to mount_cdfs(1M)

Let me know if you already have them installed, or if you don't, let me know if installing them allows the CD-ROM to work as you expect.

Regards,

Dave

I solved my problem. I needed to mount the cd with pfs. These are the commands I used.

nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &

nohup /usr/sbin/pfsd &

/usr/sbin/pfs_mound -t rrip -x unix /dev/dsk/cXtXdX /cdrom

Hi Jason,

pfs_mount is very old and other admins here yet suggest not to use it because it can hang your ws.
As Dave mentioned for mount it's the RockRidge option. Maybe you don't need a patch (it's so for my 11i installations).
You can try '-o rr' (-o rr,cdcase).

Hi Jason,

I really don't recommend the use of pfs. I've heard of so many problems with that product, which usually cause you to reboot your system when they happen.

One of the main reasons we (HP) ported the Rock Ridge format to HP-UX was to eliminate the need for pfs.

Since your initial post said you're running 11.0, I thought you might need the patches to get this Rock Ridge functionality since it didn't ship with 11.0. Also, the "-o rr" option should be the default behavior, but you can still specify it if you need to.

Dave
