How to mount an ISO file in 11i v3

[GXW_1]

Hi,

I'm trying to mount an ISO file on an 11i v3 system. It is not local, it is on an NFS mount. On linux I would just use "mount -o ro,loop etc etc" but that doesn't work, even with -F cdfs (and I have tried iso9660 and lofs to no avail). I keep getting the following error message:
mount: /tmp/disk1of2.iso is an invalid operand
Any ideas?
I found some older hits on this saying it can't be done YET but they are 4 years old - I'm assuming it CAN now be done in 11i v3??

Hi,

Just a thought. If you are able to mount it on Linux, export that mount directory through NFS and mount it on hpux.

Shalom,

mount -o loop has never worked on HP-UX.

So my solution is to mount it on a Linux system in an NFS or samba share and be done with it.

That's what HP says to do.

It uses pfs_mount and I've always found that tool a gigantic PITA.
