Hello All,
Received the following error when attempting to pfs_mount a cdrom :

Error :
/usr/sbin/pfs_mount: /dev/dsk/c0t2d0 on /cdrom: not rrip.
/usr/sbin/pfs_mount: giving up on /cdrom

You get this error because your CD is not in the rock ridge format.

Try your pfs_mount with the -t switch and either iso9660 or hsfs as the parameter

pfs_mount -t iso9660

[Christian Tremblay]

If this doesn't work, use the regular mount command:

mount -F cdfs /dev/dsk/xxxxxx /mountpoint

I've had that problem before as well and the fix for me was to make sure that the CD image in question is -compatible (being iso9660, rrip, and hsfs) otherwise the mount will fail.

It's quite similar to file/directory distortion when burning a cd on a windows machine and trying to read it on a *nix box and finding all your files capitalized and ending with 1; or whatever.

Somewhat related - don't use pfs!

Do not use pfs_mount!. Install the Rock-Ridge extension patches instead and never worry about these problems. For HP-UX 11.00 you will need forget all about PFS and install PHKL_26448 (now superceded by PHKL_28060), PHCO_26449, and PHKL_26450 to have HP-UX recognize those file systems automatically on mount! For HP-UX 11.11 (11i) you need PHCO_25841, PHKL_26269, and PHKL_25760 (now superceded by PHKL_28025).

Installation of patches requires a reboot.

swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x autoselect_patches=TRUE -x patch_match_target=TRUE -x patch_filter=*
.* -s pc1005:/var/software/hp/rockridge @`hostname`


To mount a Rockridge CD (instead of using pfs_mount):

mount -F cdfs -o ro,rr,noauto /dev/cdrom /cdrom

To unmount:

umount /cdrom

To share out the cd over NFS:

exportfs -i -o ro,anon=0 /cdrom

On remote:

mount -F nfs sha1:/cdrom /zmnt


Note: client server does NOT need to have Rock Ridge patches installed to access the cdrom remotely.

Note 2: For HP-UX 11iV2 (11.23) - RockRidge is built into the OS - no need for a patch.

Used the following mount command :

mount -F cdfs /dev/dsk/c0t2d0 /cdrom


Executed the uppercase executable with ""
./"INSTALL.SH;1"

Installation worked fine.
