'ls' command nomenclature

[Randy Hagedorn]

Hi,
I have an installation cd-rom from AccuCorp for AccuCobol. When I do an 'ls' command to see what is on the disk, I see a ".;1" at the end of several files. Is this part of the file name or does it have some special meaning about the file.
e.g. /cdrom # ll
total 64

This happens regularly with CDs.

Try this:

# umount /cdrom
# mount -r -o cdcase /dev/dsk/c?t?d0 /cdrom

# ll

Now the ;1 should disappear and the names should be in all lower-case rather than all CAPITAL letters.

Patrick,
Thanks, you solved the problem and our installation for AccuCobol is working.

Hi Dewy,

looks like your CD-ROM is formatted the "RockRidge Extensions" way, so today the best thing is to install the patches PHKL_26448, PHCO_26449, and PHKL_26450. Then you can use the mount command as follows:

mount -F cdfs -o rr,ro /dev/dsk/cXtYdZ /cdrom

HTH,
Wodisch

hello,

an addition- The CD mount options will be provided with each CDs. So whenever you mount the CD, use the proper instructions. The -o cdcase option will be useful in almost all application installs:

# mount -F cdfs -o cdcase /dev/dsk/cxtydz /cdrom

But, when you mount any HP install CDs, DON'T use the -o cdcase option.
