Support plus cd in sgi How to mount from HP???

[Richard Hubbell]

I have a support plus cd mounted on an sgi and I want to
nfs mount that on an HP. How do I do this?
The sgi /cdrom is exported and when I mount on HP the mount command
reports that the file system is mounted but I see no files.

How do I do this?

Is the cd mounted on the SGI with the -o cdcase option and exported read only? This might help.

Don't know what this option is??

option and exported read only? This might help.

It is exported read-only and mounted read-only.

Has anyone ever done this?

I believe that HP-UX CDROMs such as Support Plus, Applications and Install/Core CDs are in a proprietary format. They are designed only for the HP-UX cdfs subsystem. HP-UX does not natively support POSIX, ECMA 168, Rock Ridge Extensions, etc, so the proprietary format was created during the early 90's to handle ownerships, permissions, and long file/directory names.

Well I can view the cd just fine on the sgi as I mounted
using iso9660.

It's the hp that is having the problem mounting via NFS.

I've given up on this problem and added to my list
of HP strangeness.

Thanks anyway....

Hi Richard,
Just thinking...
This remind me of NFS problems I encounter when I forget rules about root...
You know, when you put a file on an exported file system as root and on the host that mount the fs root is not allowed...
You get messages like "read error" NOT acces denied...
Are you not in such a situation since Bill has mentionned "ownership"?
In such case you would have to allow root access on your NFS file system. I cannot check for I have no HP box with a support+ cd at the moment.
Im maybe all wrong, just thought...

Victor
