pfs_mount not working (giving up on /SD_CDROM)

[John Love_3]

I'm trying to mount an Oracle CD. I've done it before, but pfs_mount /SD_CDROM doesn't want to work now.
It just says "pfs_mount: giving up on /SD_CDROM"
I think I have the pfs_fstab file correct. Here's the contents of the pfs_fstab file.
/dev/rdsk/c0t3d0 /SD_CDROM pfs-rrip xlat=unix 1 0
I've done pfs_umount -c /SD_CDROM to clear it out. No go.

Any Ideas?

As always, Thank you!

John

I found the problem (thanks to another pfs discussion). Special thanks to James Ferguson for inadvertantly showing me the problem.
I had pfs_mountd running, but not pfsd.
Thanks James!

My pfs_fstab looks like this:

/dev/dsk/c_t_d_ /SD_CDROM pfs-rrip xlat=unix 0

...noticed yours says /dev/rdsk....???

I'd go out and make sure everything is clean, then try running my:
nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &
nohup /usr/sbin/pfsd &
/usr/sbin/pfs_mount /SD_CDROM

Just a thought,
