Mounting a cd to default to all uppercase

[Lynette Guanzon]

I have an application that I am trying to install but the files are all in lowecase. Is there a mount option where it will automatically mount the cd and all files will be set to uppercase?

Thanks!

How are you currently mounting the CD?

Are you using the '-o cdcase' option by chance? If so, omit it.

Hi,

Are you mounting like this?

# mount -F cdfs -o cdcase /dev/dsk/c0t6d0 /cdrom (will mount a CD with lower-case characters)
# mount /dev/dsk/c0t6d0 /cdrom (should mount it in uppercase)

Is the disk being mounted in the correct format? Do you require that the CD be mounted in RockRidge format?

The case of filenames and directories on a CD are very much dependent on how it was recorded. Standard HP-UX with no options will read the ISO-9660 directory which will have all UPPERCASE, an 8.3 name format, and ;version as in: TESTPRG.EXE;1 Now this is true for the majority of CD formats. However, there are a number of additional formats that can appear on the CD at the same time. There can be a translation directory as well as others...it all depends on how it was recorded. Typical CD recording software (ie, CD Creator) hides the majority of these details.

So, there isn't an UPPERCASE translator. HP-UX does not have a general purpose CD filesystem handler...it is somewhat limited in scope. I would be curious about what application requires all UPPERCASE filenames for an HP-UX installation.

Pls try with pals recomendations, if doesn't work try this:

/usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &
/usr/sbin/pfsd &
/usr/sbin/pfs_mount -x unix /dev/dsk/[c?t?d?] /cdrom &

To umount:
/usr/sbin/pfs_umount /dev/dsk/[c?t?d?] /cdrom &

if you need additional info about try with man pfs_mount.
