hi,

did you start nfs.server?

try this after adding the entry in /etc/pfs_fstab which you have done so:

# nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &
# nohup /usr/sbin/pfsd &
# /sbin/init.d/nfs.server start
# pfs_mount /SD_CDROM


regards.

# mount -F cdfs -o rr /dev/dsk/c1t0d0 /SD_CDROM

Do those patches CORRECTLY emulate the RockRidge protocol as used by Oracle for their S/W CDs?

Just asking....

[John Flanagan]

I think that there is an extention to the mount command for HP-UX 11i and possibly 11 that will mount a ridge rock format cd correctly and therfore you do not need to use pfs_mount.

John.

Load the 3 patches for HP-UX (11.00 or 11.11) and you can forget PFS forever. PFS relies on NFS and is very buggy when the steps are out of order...not recommended for any production server. The 3 patches add RockRidge support (that works just fine with Oracle CDs) to the native mount command. The option is -orr. Note that if any of the 3 patches is missing, mount -orr is silently ignored. Note also that the patch numbers are different for 11.00 versus 11.11.

Most definately dump the PFS mounting! It is most unforgiving if you forget to pfs_unmount....System gets hosed and you end up needing to do a restart to make the problem go away (did MS write this routine?). We loaded the patches (for UX-11.0) decribed in the post and they work like champs - Now we mount Oracle CD's and read them just like any other...NICE !
