Unable to get fill filenames on DVD

[Ra Jose]

I have a DVD that has some files. Probably the files are in rockridge format. I have hp-ux 11iv1 and have patches PHKL_26269 and PHCO_25841. This is what I did -
# mount -F cdfs -o cdcase /dev/dsk/c3t3d0 /dvd
The cmd succeded and I can see files under /dvd
but the filenames are ok upto 8 characters and then they are truncated. I know that the filenames on this DVD are over 8 characters (from the person who sent dvd). Is there any way to get these complete filenames instead of just 8 chars.?
Thank you all

Shalom,

You have not mounted it correctly.

/usr/sbin/mount -F cdfs -e -o ro,rr /dev/dsk/c3t2d0 /cdrom

Try the above but it would be helpful to know the format.

Hi Steven,

Tried above cmd, it mounted successfully,
but all filenames are in capital and have ;
(semicolon) in their names. Again it took
only first 8 characters and not the complete filenames that exist on the DVD.

Hi,

is the disk self-burned?

[Ra Jose]

Not sure. The filenames on the DVD are in
rockridge format.

These are not the current patches. You need PHKL_34153 and PHKL_26269.

> mount -F cdfs -o cdcase ...

-o cdcase has been deprecated for a long time. The above two patches enable the RockRidge option (-o rr). Note that if the author of the CD used Joliet (a PC-only format), the CD must be recreated in the portable RockRidge format.

Hi,

Use these commands:

HP-UX
nohup pfs_mountd &
nohup pfsd &
pfs_mount /dev/dsk/c0t2d0 /dvdrom
or
pfs_mount -o xlat=UNIX /dev/dsk/c0t2d0 /dvdrom

Thank you folks. My question is that I am unable to get full names of the files that I have on the DVD. The filenames get truncated giving me only first 8 characters. If the files on DVD were burnt using Joliet filesystem, hp-ux would not have read at all. I am able to read the files which means hp-ux is able to recognize. My only concern is filenames getting truncated.

I am not sure whether PHKL_34153 which is superseded of PHKL_28025 (which we have), can solve this issue.

Hi,

try to use pfs_mount command to read DVD

I tried pfs_mount, same problem. I can get all filenames on DVD in unix-like format but again the filenames are truncated giving me only first 8 characters.

Please don't use pfs_mount on a production system. It can lock up when the commands are not issued in the correct order and requires the use of NFS to itself in order to work.

The ALL UPPERCASE 8.3 filenames with a ;1 after the name is called the ISO 9660 format and is present on all data CDs. The two patches will enable the -o rr option. Make sure the patches are actually installed:

swlist -l patch -a state PHKL_26269 PHCO_25841

This must say: configured

Since this is a DVD and not a CD, there are many incompatible formats that a PC can create. Go back to the originator and make sure the CD or DVD is recorded in POSIX (aka, Rock Ridge) format for use in exchanging data among different types of systems.

Here is what I have (HP-UX 11iv1)
% > swlist -a state -l patch PHKL_26269 PHCO_25841
# Initializing...
# Contacting target "host"...
#
# Target: host:/
#

# PHCO_25841
# PHCO_25841.CORE-ENG-A-MAN configured
# PHCO_25841.UX-CORE configured
# PHKL_26269
# PHKL_26269.C-INC configured
# PHKL_26269.CORE-KRN configured

Even then it does not work.

When I put this dvd in a laptop attached to dvd drive, my windows-2000 lists the file as
analyze_estimate.plt

When I insert this dvd on my hp-ux server, mount the drive and and read it, the filename
comes out like this -
analyze_.plt
So you can see the filenames are getting truncated.

I think the problem could be with the way the dvd is burnt ( i mean the format). I am going to hahve it re-burnt in posix format and re-deliver.

Thank you all for your replies. I am going to close this thread after assigning points.

Thanks to all again.

The DVD needs to be re-burnt in proper format.
