Hello,
I am trying to mount the CDROM using pfs_mount command when i installing Oracle 8i,but failure to do it.
I get a message:
/usr/sbin/pfs_mount: giving up on /SD_CDROM


following are the commands that i have used
# nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &
[1] 3726
# Sending output to nohup.out

# nohup /usr/sbin/pfsd &
Sending output to nohup.out

# /usr/sbin/pfs_mount -o xlat=unix /dev/rdsk/c6t1d0 /SD_CDROM

/usr/sbin/pfs_mount: giving up on /SD_CDROM

Thanks for telling me what has happened!

Your /etc/pfs_fstab file should look like this;

#Mount Oracle CDROM
/dev/rdsk/c3t2d0 /SD_CDROM pfs-rrip xlat=unix,soft 1 0

(change the /dev/rdsk entry to match your CD drive)

Hi Jackie,

Other than what stefan just pointed out, check and see that you have /SD_CDROM directory in the root directory and is not being used by anyone. Say somebody is "cd" into it.

Thanks

Hi,

1. ioscan -fnkC tape : check for the device path for tape
2. nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &
3. nohup /usr/sbin/pfsd &
4. /usr/sbin/pfs_mout -t rrip -x unix /dev/dsk/ /cdrom
Good luck

try "ls /SD_CDROM" to see if cd is already mounted.
We had similar problem. It looked as if starting pfs daemons automatically mounted CD.
