Mount DVD truncate long names

[rico_cebiche]

Hi,
I am mounting a DVD using the command:
/usr/sbin/mount -F cdfs /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /SD_DVD
The result is the names are truncated to 8.3, and uppercase. Names should be long names and upper or lower case. What command should I use ?

Have you tried mounting with the '-o rr' option (assuming you have the Rock Ridge mount patches installed)?

You could also try the '-o cdcase' option, but I'm betting '-o rr' will seve you better.

I used "-o rr" option with error message:
mount: illegal file system specific option rr
I did some research and solve the problem using the next steps:
1. #nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &
2. #nohup /usr/sbin/pfsd &
3. #/usr/sbin/psf_mount -t rrip -x unix /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /SD_DVD
Now I see long names and mixture of upper and lower case characters.

The error you get tells me that you don't have the patches installed that provide the '-o rr' option to mount. Since you haven't said which OS you are running, I can't tell you what they are.

The '-o rr' is meant to replace the use of the pfs* commands.

Be VERY VERY careful when using the pfs commands. One wrong move and you can easily create problems that only a reboot will cure.

Thanks for the answer. I checked and B.11.11 OS need to be patched.

In case you are curious, the patches needed to enable Rock Ridge extensions on HP-UX 11.11 are:

PHKL_26269
PHKL_34153 (This supersedes PHKL_25760, which is mentioned in the PHKL_26269 documentation).
