Mounting ISO CD Image ??

[Bejoy C Alias]

Is it possible to mount an iso cd image in hp-ux ? if yes, how ?

[Joseph Loo]

hi,

try:

# mount -F cdfs -o cdcase

if not, install the Rockridge patch or use pfs_mount.

regards.

There are 2 ways
1) Generically using inbuild hpux mount command:
mount -F cdfs -o dcase /dev/dsk/c0t1d0 /CDROM
2) Using pfs third party utility
/dev/dsk/c0t1d0 /CDROM pfs-iso9660 xlat=unix 1 0

Hi guys,
I am not asking how to mount a cd . I am asking how can i mount a "CD IMAGE FILE" which i created using some cd burning software. This cd image file xxxx.iso can be mounted in linux using the loop back file. Is there any way I can mount this file in hp-ux without the need of a burned cd, like i did in linux.

Hi Arun,
I read the thread which u gave, as per the feedbacks there it is not possible to mount an iso cd image file in hp-ux.
But i am keeping this thread open for some more suggestions..

Hi Bejoy,

This is what Procura says in the above thread,

HP-UX cannot mount a *file* (yet).
HP-UX only supports block and character devices

CDRTOOLS might be very helpful. Not that it will enably you to mount the file, but it will give you utilities like isoinfo and mkisofs.

Is it correct? I cannt mount any iso with this...

[H.Merijn Brand (procura]

Correct, and still so on 11.23, you cannot *mount* a iso image on HP-UX (yet).
Workaround is to use NFS ir CiFS to mount it from a Linux box, that does support it.

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn
