Reading CDR Media

[Kirk MacLean_1]

Have customers sending files on CDRs.
Cannot mount this media under either HP-UX 10.20 or 11.00.

Have exceeded all SWAG theories and must seek community help determining if it is possible to mount these CDRs. At this point it looks like the CDRs were written with an incompatible format.

Have had success loading CDRs known to be written as iso9660 using:
mount -o cdcase /dev/dsk/c0t2d0 /cdrom


# nohup pfsd &
[1] 1750
# Sending output to nohup.out

# nohup pfs_mountd &
[2] 1753
# Sending output to nohup.out

# ps -ef | grep pfs
root 1750 1576 0 16:10:03 pts/0 0:00 pfsd
root 1754 1753 0 16:10:19 pts/0 0:00 pfs_mountd.rpc
root 1753 1576 1 16:10:19 pts/0 0:00 pfs_mountd
root 1756 1576 2 16:10:28 pts/0 0:00 grep pfs
# pfs_mount -o xlat=unix /dev/dsk/c0t2d0 /cdrom
pfs_mount: giving up on /cdrom
# mount -o cdcase /dev/dsk/c0t2d0 /cdrom
/dev/dsk/c0t2d0: unrecognized file system
# pfs_mount -o xlat=unix /dev/dsk/c0t2d0 /cdrom
pfs_mount: giving up on /cdrom
# dosls /dev/dsk/c0t2d0:
Unrecognizable disc format on /dev/dsk/c0t2d0
dosls: can't open /dev/dsk/c0t2d0: for listing.

Thank you for any help.

You listed the ISO-9660 format. Have you tried the RockRidge format.
My guess would be to again use pfs_mount but the /etc/pfs_tab file will say it is a rockridge format as opposed to a ISO-9660 format.
