Hello, everyone,

I come across a question.

How to mount disc properly?

I want to know the below command's parameter.

'mount ???????? /dev/dsk/c3t2d0 /SD_CDROM'.

how to make the cd content properly displayed with upper&lowercase distinguished?

Thanks!

Hi,

Try this:

mount -F cdfs -o cdcase /dev/dsk/c3t2d0 /SD_CDROM

Hi,

*
My CD-ROM doesn't show what I expect

It can be an Oracle CD-ROM, or a CD created on Windows, or whereever they used Rock Ridge extensions. Long names are truncated or show upper case only. Oracle tells you to use pfs_mount.

Do not use pfs_mount!. Install the Rock-Ridge extension patches instead and never worry about these problems. For HP-UX 11.00 you will need forget all about PFS and install PHKL_26448 (now superceded by PHKL_28060), PHCO_26449, and PHKL_26450 to have HP-UX recognize those file systems automatically on mount! For HP-UX 11i you need PHCO_25841, PHKL_26269, and PHKL_25760.

No need thereafter to use -o cdfs to mount anymore, provided you enter the CD drive in /etc/fstab like this:

/dev/cd0 /cdrom cdfs ro,rr,noauto 0 0

Hope it helps,

It sounds like you are using a CD that utilizes extensions that are not recognized by default with the drivers deliverd in your OS version.

HP has several documents that will tell you how to load the PFS system to be able to mount and read the CD - DON'T DO IT !!! We used this method, only becasue we had no other choices, until HP introduced the patches mentioned by one of your responders. We experienced BEAUCOUP problems using the PFS work-arounds, most ONLY being solved by performing a re-start.

Do yourself a HUGE favor and take the time to load the patches -
