Mount Veritas cdrom with pfs truncate file names

[Lissete Calderón]

Hello team,

I need to mount a Veritas CD on an HP rp7420 server running HPUX 11.23, I have done:

1.-create a file /etc/pfs_fstab

2.-make an entry
/dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /cdrom pfs-rrip xlat=unix 0 0

3.-insert the CD into the drive
#pfs_mountd&

#pfsd&

#pfs_mount /cdrom

But it results:
pfs_mount: /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 on /cdrom: not rrip.
pfs_mount: giving up on /cdrom

I also did:
mount -F cdfs -o cdcase /dev/dsk/c1t2d0

but truncates file names, can some body help me to know how can I mount this kind of CD ?

Thanks a lot for your help,
Lissete

The "not rrip" means not Rock Ridge compliant.

You could try using the -t [type] option as listed in the man page for pfs_mount:

-t type Force the CD-ROM to be mounted as the specified type, if possible. Accepted types are:

iso9660 will cause the mount program to attempt to mount the CD-ROM image using the ISO 9660 specifications. If the CD image is not ISO 9660 compatible, the mount fails. Note that if the CD image is also Rock Ridge compliant, and the -t iso9660 option is not specified, the CD-ROM image will be mounted with Rock Ridge extensions enabled.

hsfs will cause the mount program to attempt to mount the CD-ROM image using the High Sierra specifications. If the CD image is not hsfs compatible, the mount fails.

rrip will cause the mount program to attempt to mount the CD-ROM image using the Rock Ridge Interchange specifications. If the CD image is not RRIP compatible, the mount fails. Note, that if the CD-ROM image supports the Rock Ridge Interchange Protocol, and the CD-ROM image is mounted with rrip, the translation options are suppressed.

Hello Kent,

Thanks for your quick response .

I have tried to mount the cd using:

#pfs_mount -t iso9660 /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /cdrom

And previously:

vi /etc/pfs_fstab
/dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /cdrom pfs-iso9660 xlat=unix 0 0

With no good results, because I still have the file names truncated,

dvd1:/cdrom > ls
cluster_ gnu storage_ volume_r
file_sys installe support windows
getting_.pdf perl volume_m

This is a Veritas CD from Symantec, I can not install from there since the installer from the cd could not find the correct file names.

I also tried hsfs type :

dvd1:/ > pfs_mount -t hsfs /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /cdrom
pfs_mount: /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 on /cdrom: not hsfs.
pfs_mount: giving up on /cdrom

Any ideas?

Hi again,

If the cd is not hsfs or rrip, and I can mount the cd with thw iso9660 option, but I still see file ames truncated :(

drwxrwxrwx 2 root sys 2048 Feb 5 2036 volume_r
drwxrwxrwx 2 root sys 2048 Feb 5 2036 windows


Is there a way or a patch to solve this problem?

Please help me...

Yes - don't use PFS!

they used Rock Ridge extensions. Long names are truncated or show upper case only. Oracle tells you to use pfs_mount.

Do not use pfs_mount!. Install the Rock-Ridge extension patches instead and never worry about these problems. For HP-UX 11.00 you will need forget all about PFS and install PHKL_26448 (now superceded by PHKL_28060), PHCO_26449, and PHKL_26450 to have HP-UX recognize those file systems automatically on mount! For HP-UX 11.11 (11i) you need PHCO_25841, PHKL_26269, and PHKL_25760 (now superceded by PHKL_28025).

Installation of patches requires a reboot.

swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x autoselect_patches=TRUE -x patch_match_target=TRUE -x patch_filter=*
.* -s /var/software/hp/rockridge @`hostname`


To mount a Rockridge CD (instead of using pfs_mount):

mount -F cdfs -o ro,rr,noauto /dev/cdrom /cdrom

To unmount:

umount /cdrom

To share out the cd over NFS:

exportfs -i -o ro,anon=0 /cdrom

On remote:

mount -F nfs sha1:/cdrom /zmnt


Note: client server does NOT need to have Rock Ridge patches installed to access the cdrom remotely.

Hi Geof!

Server is running 11.23 I have not found any Rock Ridge extension for ISO9660 patches or any aptche related to.

Any clue ?

[Geoff Wild]

Sorry - it is RockRidge built into 11.23 - just mount it - like this:

mount -F cdfs -o ro,rr,noauto /dev/dvdrom /dvdrom


Course, I create a link to the actual dvd drive in my machine:

# ll /dev/dvdrom
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 15 Feb 13 14:12 /dev/dvdrom -> /dev/dsk/c0t0d0

Bad news...

dvd1:/> mount -F cdfs -o ro,rr,noauto /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /cdrom
dvd1:/cdrom > ls

The CD was created under ISO9660 format not directly RockRidge. Do you think could be the reason ?

Thanks in advance.

The Veritas CD was recorded under ISO9660 format not Rock Ridge directly. Do you think that could be the reason ?
