map cd's

[jedd]

hello all
i'm trying to install applications from CD's. the install reads the CD labels, verifies the right label and then proceeds to read the CD's. my problem is that the CD label is in lowercase and the install is trying to read it in uppercase. is there anyway of mapping the cd's in uppercase??? when i do share?? or mount any options that i can use. i can't seem to find any in man pages.
thanks for your help

Looks like you need to mount your CD in lower-case.

# mount -F cdfs -o cdcase /dev/dsk/c0t6d0 /cdrom (assuming /dev/dsk/c0t6d0 is your cdrom device.)

The default mounting options are in uppercase if you used these options:

# mount /dev/dsk/c0t6d0 /cdrom

hi,

try cdcase option with mount.
mount -o cdcase

Maybe you unawarely mounted the CD with the "cdcase" option, which automatically converts all upper to lower case.
Have a look at your /etc/fstab which mount options are preset therein.

A not so elegant workaround to fool the program that expects all upper case names would be to do a find like this

find /mountpoint/cdrom -depth | tr 'a-z' 'A-Z'

Hello all
i guess i made a mistake in the description. i'm not mounting cd's locally. i'm doing it with nfs.
so i'm mounting from server a to server b.
what options do i have? i need to be able to read the contents in upper case. the cd is all in lowercase.
mount server a:\<> server b:\<> -???

Jedd,

Refer to Bill Hassell's comments in the following thread:

That should shed some light.
