Problem in mounting CDs with long filename

[Siju Jose_1]

Hi

I am trying to mount a cd which shows the proper filename when mounted on a linux machine.But when tried on a HP-UX 11.11 box the filenames are limited to 8 character with a 3 character extension.

I have Installed the 3 Rock Ridge patches(PHCO_25841,PHKL_26269 and PHKL_32035 ) and tried to mount it with different options.

When tried with -o cdcase it gave small case letters but again in 8.3 format.When tried with -o rr it gave all BLOCK letters with a ";1" at the end.I have tried the pfs_mount option also.

Can you help me to expand the filenames to their longest form ?

Shalom Siju,

Had this question earlier today:

/usr/sbin/mount -F cdfs -e -o ro,rr /dev/dsk/c3t2d0 /cdrom

that works for me.

replace c3t2d0 with the actual device name of cd-rom from:

ioscan -fnC disk

Hi Steven

That didnt help.When tried with those options it is giving the file with ";1" at the end.

root:> ls /cdrom/*
FPRANGES.ZIP;1 FPRANG~2.ZIP;1 FPRANG~4.ZIP;1 FPRANG~6.ZIP;1 WFRANGES.ZIP;1
FPRANG~1.ZIP;1 FPRANG~3.ZIP;1 FPRANG~5.ZIP;1 README.TXT;1 WFRANG~1.ZIP;1

Hi,

why you don't use both options?
This works for me:
/sbin/mount -F cdfs -o rr,ro,cdcase /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 /cdrom

... with your right 'c0t0d0' ...

Of course, the CD may not be burned with Joliet format.
I don't know if Linux can read this, HP-UX cannot.

What does following return??

fstyp -v /dev/rdsk/cxtxdx

Hi

When tried with Volkmar`s option also,I am getting the filenames in lowercase but again in 8.3 format.May the reason is that it was was not burnt with Joliet format

fstyp shows the following

[root]:/:> fstyp -v /dev/rdsk/c1t2d0
cdfs
f_bsize: 2048
f_frsize: 2048
f_blocks: 61955

mount -F cdfs -o rr,cdcase /dev/dsk/cxtxdx /cdrom

Does it mount correctly??

[Siju Jose_1]

No,it mounts with truncated filenames(8.3 format)

How did you create the CD??

[Siju Jose_1]

This CD was given to us by an external supplier.So not sure in which format they were written.

Hi again,

how is the CD created?
Is it Joliet format or is it not?
It should be ISO 9660.
And in your burning software there should be an option for longer file names.

If CD is iso9660, then you will have problem mounting it. Try as follows. Mount with pfs_mount.

# /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &

[3] 1969

# /usr/sbin/pfsd &

[4] 1970

Edit or create the file

/etc/pfs_fstab

/dev/dsk/c0t4d0 /ISO_CDROM pfs-iso9660 xlat=unix 0 0

/dev/dsk/c0t4d0 /ISO_RR_CDROM pfs-rrip xlat=unix 0 0

and then pfs_mount /ISO_CDROM or /ISO_RR_CDROM

Hi

I have already tried that but there was no difference.

Can you see long file names on windows??

[Siju Jose_1]

Hi

Yes ,I can see the full names on windows and I can see the same on linux too.

What is the file system that linux uses to mount it??

[V. Nyga]

Hi,

can't you mount it with Linux, export the cd-directory for hp-ux and mount the Linux dir in hp-ux?

[Siju Jose_1]

Hi

If mounted from a linux machine it gives the full file name

Siju Jose

[V. Nyga]

Yes, ok

Why don't you mount the linux directory to hp-ux to copy the files?

I think you have no other chance, I've read older threads, if RockRidge or pfs_mount doesn't work, then you'll have a 'wrong' format for hp-ux.

Another possibility is to make a new cd (with the 'right' format) or a tar or something like that, so you can read it in hp-ux.
