Rock Ridge cdroms

[Dario Prester]

I wanto to master a depot directory to HP-UX cd. I used
mkisofs and it seems to work
if I mount the CD with rock ridge extension
Is it necessary use the rrip on mastering ? Is there any other mode to master a CD that contains a depot tree ?
Thanks

The basic ISO-9660 standard will create files with a maximum of 8 characters and a 3 character extension--which won't work for HP-UX as many files and directories exceed these value. Rock Ridge extensions allow for long names and must be mastered with rrip options as well as mounted with the rrip option in HP-UX. Note that prior to 11.0, you'll have to use the cumbersome PFS tools. For 11.0 and 11i, you can apply the latest RockRidge patches and the CD will mount (and filenames appear) correctly.

Here are some scripts for rock ridge. You can't use these mounts on HP cd's

This is a start stop script in /sbin/init.d

#!/sbin/sh

# @(#) $Revision: 82.1 $

# NOTE: This script is not configurable! Any changes made to this
# script will be overwritten when you upgrade to the next
# release of HP-UX.

# Allowed exit values:
# 0 = success; causes "OK" to show up in checklist.

# Use this value if execution of this script is overridden
# by the use of a control variable, or if this script is not

PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin
export PATH
export LOGFILE=/etc/rc.log

# NOTE: If your script executes in run state 0 or state 1, then /usr might
# not be available. Do not attempt to access commands or files in
# /usr unless your script executes in run state 2 or greater. Other
# file systems typically not mounted until run state 2 include /var
# and /opt.

rval=0# Check the exit value of a command run by this script. If non-zero, the
# exit code is echoed to the log file and the return value of this script
# is set to indicate failure.

set_return() {
x=$?
if [ $x -ne 0 ]; then
echo "EXIT CODE: $x"
rval=1 # script FAILed
fi
}

# Kill the named process(es).
# $1=

killproc() { # kill the named process(es)
echo stopping $1
pid=`/usr/bin/ps -e |
/usr/bin/grep "$1" |
/usr/bin/sed -e 's/^ *//' -e 's/ .*//'`
[ "$pid" != "" ] && kill $pid
}

findproc() { # return pid of the named process(es)
pid=`/usr/bin/ps -e |
/usr/bin/grep "$1" |
/usr/bin/sed -e 's/^ *//' -e 's/ .*//'`
}


case $1 in
'start_msg')
# Emit a _short_ message relating to running this script with
# the "start" argument; this message appears as part of the checklist.
echo "Starting the pfs_mount subsystem"
;;

'stop_msg')
# Emit a _short_ message relating to running this script with
# the "stop" argument; this message appears as part of the checklist.
echo "Stopping the pfs_mount subsystem"
;;

'start') # source the system configuration variables

# Execute the commands to start your subsystem
/usr/sbin/pfs_mountd & >> $LOGFILE
/usr/sbin/pfsd & >> $LOGFILE
:

'stop')
# source the system configuration variables
:
# Execute the commands to stop your subsystem
for i in pfsd pfs_mountd
do
killproc $i
done


;;

*) echo "usage: $0 {start|stop|start_msg|stop_msg}"
rval=1
;;
esac

exit $rval

It sets up the daemons you need to run.

after that its just pfs_mount /cdrom

You are rock ridge ready..
