Mount CD with Long file name

[Achilles_2]

Hi there,

Do anyone know how to mount the CD which has long file name?

Thanks

[Joseph Loo]

hi,

try this:

# mount -F cdfs -o cdcase /device_name /CDROM

regards.

[Arunvijai_4]

Two ways,

1) #nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &
#nohup /usr/sbin/pfsd &
#pfs_mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 /cd

2) mount -F cdfs -o rr /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 /cd

Hey man,

I had already used those methods, but the filename are still incorrect and show the uppercase

[Yogeeraj_1]

hi,

please try the attached script that i had once down from here itself.

use the script to both mount and unmount your cds/dvds

[Yogeeraj_1]

script attached.

[Arunvijai_4]

Yogee, Your script also uses pfs_mountd and pfsd .. Author says he already used those methods. So, lets wait for his feedback

A link from IBM about mounting a CD drive on HP-UX with long file names (point #6)

Maybe this is too basic, but do you have the Rock Ridge patches installed? (didn't notice which o/s version you're running, but if it's 11.11 or 11.0, these are needed)

(swlist -l product|grep -i -e "rock ridge")

If not installed, you'll need:

PHCO_25841, PHKL_26269, PHKL_32035 (for 11.11)
PHCO_26449, PHKL_26450, PHKL_28060 (for 11.0)

Best Regards,

Dave

If it's 11.23 in my system, does it need to have the Rock Ridge patches installed?

Best Regards,

[Arunvijai_4]

Don't think so, 11.23 has built in capability to handle the Rock Ridge. My 11.23,

# swlist -l product|grep -i -e "rock ridge"
#

-Arun

[Achilles_2]

Yes, I got the same result of swlist -l product|grep -i -e "rock ridge". Also I run the following commands

In /etc/pfs_fstab file,
#/dev/dsk/c0t0d0 /cd pfs-rrip ro,hard
#nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &
#nohup /usr/sbin/pfsd &
pfs_mount /cd

The output is :
pfs_mount: /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 on /cd: not rrip.
pfs_mount: giving up on /cd

hi again,

see Merijn's site at : http://www.cmve.net/~merijn/faq.html

the section on: My CD-ROM doesn't show what I expect

hope this helps!

hi,

if u r doing it from pfs_fstab, try this:

1. create file, /etc/pfs_fstab
2. add entry to /etc/pfs_fstab
# "device name" /cdrom pfs-rrip xlat=unix 0 0
3. run pfs daemon at the background
# nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &
# nohup /usr/sbin/pfsd &
4. start nfs server
# /sbin/init.d/nfs.server start
5. mount and unmount file system
# pfs_mount /cdrom
# pfs_umount /cdrom

regards.

fstyp -v /dev/dsk/cxtxdx

What type of fs is on CD??

[Achilles_2]

# fstyp -v /dev/dsk/c0t0d0
Here is the output
cdfs
f_bsize: 2048
f_frsize: 2048
f_blocks: 14997
f_bfree: 0
f_bavail: 0
f_files: 18446744073709551615
f_ffree: 0
f_favail: 0
f_fsid: 520093696
f_basetype: cdfs
f_namemax: 37
f_magic: 0
f_featurebits: 0
f_flag: 0
f_fsindex: 2
f_size: 14997

[RAC_1]

Do as follows and post.

mount -F cdfs -o cdcase,rr /dev/dsk/cxtxdx /mount_point

Assuming that you have require rock ridge patches.

[Achilles_2]

RAC,

I follow your method but the output doesn't print out the long file name. Also I checked my system doesn't have rock ridge patches

[Bharat Katkar]

hi,
can you try this with pfs mount:

1. Run PFS daemons as below:
/usr/sbin/pfsmountd &
pfsd 1 &
touch /etc/pfs_fstab

2. Now mount the iso image using pfs_mount command:
pfs_mount -t iso9660 -o

Hope that works.
Regards,

[Achilles_2]

what is the content of /etc/pfs_fstab?

[RAC_1]

swlist -l patch | grep -i rock

Yuo already should have rock ridge patches as you are on 11.23. Else you will have to install those before you can mount it.

Also what exactly is this CD??

[Bharat Katkar]

No contents ...just touch that file. It will only check it's presence.

Regards,

[Piergiacomo Perini]

Hi all,

/etc/pfs_fstab file for
RockRidge format,in my opinion
must have an entry like this :

/dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /SD_CDROM pfs-rrip xlat=unix 0 0


hih

If nothing works, use NFS or Samba to access CD from Windows to HP-UX..

There are many CDROM formats, ISO9660, RockRidge, Joliet, etc. The RockRidge patches will enable the -orr option but since the pfs_mount (NEVER use pfs in a production system, especially 11.00 and later) says "not rrip" which means the CD is not in Rock Ridge Interchange Protocol. So the first question is: how was this CD created? Joliet is a a common PC format but is mostly incompatible with non-PC platforms. That's why CDR burning programs ask the question about creating a common, interchangeable format (always pick that option). Also, never try to use piecemeal CDs (drag and drop) as they require special software to read these CDs.
