Re: Mount options

Install rock ridge patches and try -o rr option in mount.

If only case is the issue youcan also use
-o cdcase

Re: Mount options

Hi Binu,

Try using the RockRidge extension:

# mount -F cdfs -o rr /dev/dsk/cXtXdX /CDROM

If it still doesn't work, try using the pfs_mount command.

Re: Mount options

hey binu ,
To start, make sure that the CD-ROM drive is
properly connected and configured, and that the proper driver is configured in your kernel.Then, shut down the computer, connect the CD-ROM drive, and power back up again.Assuming the proper device driver has been installed, the system should create the necessary device files during the boot process.After booting, use any mount point directory name.
then do the following ,
# find the block device file for your CD-ROM
# create a mount point directory
# mount the CD

Check for the format of the cd.(if ts a ISO or a High Sierra format.
Also make sure that the mount point is correct.

bye,
Colin
