Mounting non-HP CDROM and reading files

[SAM_24]

Hi,

I was able to mount and see the files. The problem is it show all the file names in uppercase and it is similar to DOS filenames.

Is it possible to mount with some options would help me to display the file names correctly?

Or HP-UX don't support non-HP cdrom file system.

Thanks.

Try mounting with the "-o cdcase" option.

Hi,

Try using "mount -o cdcase" option.

HP-UX doesnt support Rockridge extention format. You need to install patch to be able to use mount to mount the CDs of that format.

But if only the uppercase is the issue, you can try something like this

# mount -F cdfs -o cdcase /dev/dsk/ /mnt

It's difficult to tell whether all the filenames on the CD are 8.3 format. The -ocdcase option will remove ;1 and lower everything but will not handle long filenames. The all UPPERCASE;1 names you are seeing are basic ISO 9660 format. All data CDs have this directory, but there are multiple directories on most CDs. The RockRidge format extended the naming convention to allow MiXeDcAsE names, long names and removed the ;1 version number. Native HP-UX cannot use this directory so you have to use patches to enable RockRidge compatibility. NOTE: there are no patches for 10.20 or earlier. For 10.20, use the PFS tool (man pfs). Otherwise, download and add the 3 RockRidge patches, then mount the CD with the -orr option.
