Problem with long file names when mounting CD-ROM

[Jennifer Perry]

I'm having a problem with long file names when mounting CD-ROM. Any help would be great.
Thank,
Jenn

Hi Jenn,

Try using the following mount command:

mount -F cdfs -o cdcase /dev/dsk/cxtydz /mnt_point

This should solve your problem.

HTH,
Jeff

Cool! I'll try it and let you know how it works.
Thanks,

Jenn,
If your CD was burnt using the Rock Ridge extension you must either download/install the patches (e.g. PHKL_28060, PHKL_26450 and PHCO_26449 for 11.0) and mount with:
mount -o rr /dev/....
or (if you don't want the patches) you can use the 'pfs' commands:
pfsd
pfs_mountd
pfs_mount /dev/.....

Hi,

if the CD is in ISO9660 format you should use the pfs_mount (see man page):

# pfs_mount -t iso9660 -x unix /dev/cdrom /SD_CDROM

Hi,

We solved that problem in Oracle 8.1.7 by the following way:

To mount CD:
nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &
hohup /usr/sbin/pfsd &
nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mount -x unix /dev/dsk/[c?t?d?] /cdrom &

(*) Try man pfs_mount to get details about.

To umount CD:
nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_umount /dev/dsk/[c?t?d?] &
Note that is "pfs_umount" and not "ps_mount" to **umount** your media..!

(*) nohup executes command with hangups and quits ignored, both standard output and standard error are sent to nohup.out.

Jenn


do a man pfs_mount ,


pfsd &
pfs_mountd &
pfs_mount -x no_version -x lowercase /dev/rdsk/cxtydz /cdrom

will do the trick

Hi,

Try,

mount -o cdcase /dev/dsk/cxtydz /mount_point

cxtydz is the device file for the cdrom.

Hope this helps.
