mounting Rock Ridge cdroms

[Glen Trevino]

I am having an awful time here trying to mount
a RockRidge formatted CD on HP-UX 11.00 (Patched up to March 2002). Is there any way to
do this besides using pfs_mount??? If not, how exactly does this work?

Thanks

Hope this helps ..

Hi Glen,

The HP-UX command "mount" has been enhanced to accept the rockridge format.

This makes the mounting of Oracle CDs much easier. This can be used instead of the pfs_mount commands.

For 11.0 and 11i you will need to use a "-o rr" option with mount.

Usage: mount -F cdfs -o rr /dev/dsk/cxtydz

For HP-UX 11i, you need two HP patches (released in March): PHKL_25760 for the kernel and PHCO_25841 for the mount. This code will also be back ported to 11.0.

HTH,

Hi Glen

It is not that bad. Do like this:

1. pfs_mountd &
2. pfsd &
3. pfs_mount /dev/dsk/cxtydz /cdrom


and you are good to go.

Thanks Manjov, that wasn't too bad... Mounted perfectly!

Shinju, the 'mount -F cdfs -o rr /dev/dsk/cxtydz /cdrom' didn't work for me me on HP-UX 11.00 & I am patched up to the March 2002 QPK1100. Response from mount was 'illegal option -o rr'. Are you sure this works on 11.00 and not just 11i?

Rock Ridge extensions (RRIP) are delayed till end off May 2002 for HP-UX 11.00

11i is available, as you already noticed. If they are indeed available end may, they'll probably be on the June QPK CD

Hi Glen,

As procura said, it might have been delayed. Check this TKB document, from which I gave you the information:

Also use 'nohup' command while you use pfs operations.
