mount dvd

[Victor Geere]

When I mount the dvdrom (in SAM) to /tmp-mnt/dvd and do a

/tmp-mnt/dvd>ll

I always get file names that contain ";" regardles of the cdrom e.g.:

dr-xr-xr-x 1 4294967295 4294967295 6144 Apr 1 05:21 ARCHIVES
-r-xr-xr-x 1 4294967295 4294967295 1063 Feb 6 06:42 ARCHLIST.;1
-r-xr-xr-x 1 4294967295 4294967295 14012 Feb 6 06:36 INSTALL.;1
dr-xr-xr-x 1 4294967295 4294967295 6144 Apr 1 05:21 INSTINFO
dr-xr-xr-x 1 4294967295 4294967295 2048 Oct 16 2001 REDIST
-r-xr-xr-x 1 4294967295 4294967295 247 Apr 1 05:22 TRANS.TBL;1


which breaks any command that you want to execute. How do I solve this?

I think those files might actually be on your DVD, not specifically related to the mount process.

Try escaping the filename. i.e.

cat INSTALL.\;1

or using quotes

cat "INSTALL.;1"

Cheers,

Run the following command to learn about the DVD device file:
# bdf /tmp_mnt/dvd
Then, unmount it manually:
# cd /
# umount /tmp_mnt/dvd
Finally, mount it again manually:
# mount -F cdfs -o cdcase /dev/dsk/cxtydz /tmp_mnt/dev

where /dev/dsk/cxtydz is the one listed by the bdf command
