Problem mounting a CD-ROM

[Dario_4]

Hello,
i have a problem when i try to mount a cd-rom.

mount /dev/dsk/c2t4d0 SD_CDROM/ works fine.

When i go to SD_CDROM and i type an ls command i see all file with ;1 at the end. For example:
pippo.gz;1 home.sh;1 ping.c;1

What's happend?

In /etc/fstab and /etc/mnttab there aren't some row about mounting of CD-ROM

Thanks

Hi:

add the -o cdcase option to your mount. Man mount_cdfs for details.

hi,

mount using the -o cdcase
option, since the CDrom contents is of a different format
mount -o cdcase /dev/dsk/xx /CDROM

Hi Fabrizio,

I have never seen something like this. Can you do a umount and then mount the cd again and see if the same thing happens.

mount /dev/dsk/cd_device /SD_CDROM

You can use a "-o cdcase" option with mount if required.

hope this helps.

Hi,
I think you have a rockridge format:
Mounting cdrom (pfs - Oracle 8.1.5 [ Rockridge Format ]):

a. insert cdrom into drive
b. start processes Pfs :
# /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &
# /usr/sbin/pfsd &
Note: varify > #ps -ef |grep pfs
b. find cdrom device name ( #ioscan -funC disk ) [e.g. /dev/dsk/c1t2d0]
c. validate mount point to mount cdrom [e.g. /cdrom]
d. #pfs_mount /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /cdrom

Unmounting cdrom(pfs - Oracle 8.1.5 [ Rockridge Format ] ):

a. #pfs_umount /cdrom
b. manually eject cdrom from drive. (press eject button)
c. kill processes [ pfsd and pfs_mountd ]


All the best

Ok guys, thanks to all.
I use the option -o cdcase.

It works fine.
Bye

Hi again,
I forgot :you will need to create a file:
/etc/pfs_fstab which contains:
more /etc/pfs_fstab
/dev/dsk/c3t2d0 /SD_CDROM pfs-rrip xlat=unix 0
#/dev/rdsk/c3t2d3 /SD_CDROM pfs-iso9660 soft,xlat=unix 0 0

...

All the best

Sorry guys,
i forgot one thinks:

When i mount cd-rom with -o cdcase options, i read the file without ;1 but in small letter instead of capital letter.

This is a big problem, becuse if i have a script shell that refer to some file in capital letter, the script doesn't works.

For example this is my situation:
mount cd without -o cdcase

ls

ERDB.01;1 ERDB.02;1 ERDB.03;1 ERDB.install;1

mount cd with -o cdcase

ls
erdb.01 erdb.02 erdb.03 erdb.install.

Well, apparently works fine.
I copy the cd on a /home dir.

erdb.install is a scipt that "unzip" the erdb file. It refer to capital letter files.

if( ! -e ERDB.01) then
echo ERROR:file ERDB.01 Missing

Phereaps, if i not use the mv command (mv erdb.01 ERDB.01) It doesn't works.
Some suggest to solve this problem?

Thanks

Your applications looks like need the CD mounted using pfs daemons.
Use the instructions given by Victor earlier.

Thanks.
Prashant.

Hi Fabrizio,

Try pfs mount. Use this procedure,

nohup pfs_mountd &
nohup pfsd &
pfs_mount -o xlat=unix /dev/dsk/cd_device /cdrom

One Done,

pfs_umount /cdrom
kill pfs_mountd
kill pfsd
kill pfs_mountd.rpc
kill pfsd.rpc

Hope this helps.

Is this a CD you burned on a CD burner in Jiolet? Sometimes this happens due to filename types and lengthes. i use a wildcart like sh EDB* so it doesn't include the ;1.

Hello,
If i use the pfs_mount i see the same error. May be, this fact, can be depends from joliet...may be.

Thanks to all
