PFS Issue

[Nobody's Hero]

I am having the dreaded "NFS server not responding" during my oracle install. I found this resolution:

The pfs_mount(1M) command has been replaced with
enhancements to the mount(1M) command adding Rock Ridge format support.
Please refer to document KBRC00010147 for information on patches required to
update mount(1M). These patches will eliminate the need to use
pfs_mount for all CD-ROMs.

Can someone point me to the patch that fixes this problem. I can't see to view the document to get the details.

Will installing the patches PHKL_28060, PHCO_26449, and
PHKL_26450 on 11.0 and PHCO_25841, PHKL_26269, and
PHKL_28025 on 11i eliminate the need for using PFS to mount some CD-
ROM's?

The answer is YES. Use the mount cdfs option.

Yes . By those patches pfs_mount command is
replaced with #mount cdfs command

Hi Robert,

As stated in your post itself you can use the mount command with Rock Ridge format support for mounting the CD-ROM. The latest oracle CD's (Atleast 10G) also describes to use mount option like this but this will not work if you are mounting CD-ROM from a different server. Then more that the pfs_mount it could be a network issue as well.

Mount CDROM like this if it is local & you should not have any problems.

#mount -F cdfs -o rr /dev/dsk/cxtydz /cdrom1

HTH,
