Linux and mount /cdrom on HPUX server

[Coolmar]

Hi,

I have the /cdrom drive on my HPUX server pfs-mounted. I need to now mount it on my linux system. Does anyone know how I would do that?

Thanks!

I am assuming that you are talking about an NFS mount, i.e., reading the cdrom from linux system while it is still being mounted on your hpux box.

If this is the case assuming the cdrom is mounted on /cdrom mountpoint:

1. Edit /etc/exports
2. Add or modify the following line

/cdrom -ro,access=mylinuxbox:otherserver:anotherserver:...: serverN

on this line mylinuxbox refers to the linux system you are talking about.Otherserver names may or may not exists depending on your particular configuration.

3. Run command

# exportfs -a

4. On your linux system, run command:

# mkdir /cdrom (skip this step if it already exists)
# mount hpuxbox:/cdrom /cdrom

Hope this helps

Yes Mel, when I re-read my question it is not very clear. Anyway, thanks for your help...it works.
