filename too long

[Peter Gillis]

Hi
We are doing a new install of db2 on uxx11i system. Install almost completes then we get to:
ERROR: Cannot open source file
"/cdrom/db2/DB2V7WCC/wcc/opt/IBMdb2/V7.1/cc/en_US/db2_390/removeuserpri
vilegespromptdialogip.htm"
to copy it. File name too long (248).

Can anyone offer some advice, on how to deal with the filename too long business?

Thanks.
Maria

Maria,

Have a look at this post, I think it is the same. Looks like mounting options.

Alternatively:

Probably the CD contains the Rock Ridge Extensions to ISO 9660, so it is best
to access it using the pfs_mount command (or install the necessary 3 patches). Details can be found in the
man pages of pfs_mount(1M), pfs_mountd(1M) and pfsd(1M).

This should work in the vast majority of cases:

# nohup pfs_mountd &
# nohup pfsd &
# pfs_mount -o soft /dev/dsk/c?t?d? (mountpoint)
