Mounting CD's via CDFS

[KPS]

Hi,

I just recently learned about CDFS being used for CD Mounts and attempted this on HP-UX 11.11 and it's working great with no issues.

I'm trying to find out if this is also usable on an OS that has HP-UX 11.0?

BTW, i'm using the following command to mount the CD's on my system? Would this change on HP-UX 11.0?

mount -F cdfs -e -o ro,rr /dev/dsk/c3t2d0 /cdrom

Thanks in advance..
-Ken

Hi Ken,

FAQ on Merijn's webpage.

My CD-ROM doesn't show what I expect
It can be an Oracle CD-ROM, or a CD created on Windows, or whereever 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 For HP-UX 11.00 you will need forget all about PFS and install PHKL_26448 (now superceded by PHKL_28060), PHCO_26449, and PHKL_26450 to have HP-UX recognize those file systems automatically on mount!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.

No need thereafter to use -o cdfs to mount anymore, provided you enter the CD drive in /etc/fstab like this:

/dev/cd0 /cdrom cdfs ro,rr,noauto 0 0


Regards and hope this helps,
Robert-Jan

It's been a while, but I think in the old days (HP-UX 10) it would have been

mount -e -o cdcase,ro,rr /dev/dsk/c3t2d0 /cdrom
