unexpected file name (with a dot) from a CD

[Reggie Chang]

Hello,

I use the following command to mount a CD.
mount -rF cdfs -o cdcase /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /CDROM

There is a file in the CD called "setup", but I see
the file as "setup." with a dot appending. (I have to
to -o cdcase since the file names used by the
"setup" are all in lower case.)

Just wonder if there is any way to get rid of the dot.

Best regards,

Reggie

Hello Reggie,

Maybe you can try this.

- remove the file /etc/pfs_fstab
- Start the daemons on the following order:

# nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &
# nohup /usr/sbin/pfsd &

- Mount the CD:
# pfs_mount -o xlat=unix /dev/dsk/cxtydz /SD_CDROM

- To Umount the CD:
# pfs_umount / SD_CDROM
# ps -ef |grep pfs
- "kill -15 xxxx" pid process for pfsd
- "kill -15 xxxx" pid process for pfs_mountd


I think it will work.

regards.

Thank you for the message, Luciano.

When I tried to run
nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &,
it complained
"pfs_mountd: can't contact pfs_mountd.rpc RPC_PROG_NOT_REGISTERED".

How to resolve the problem?
(By the way, there is no
/etc/pfs_fstab on my machine.)

Try this:-

1. swinstall
and select the cd to install from.

2. Open another session and look at the file name structure - it should be ok.

her is the pfs_fstab you can create ,

/dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /cdrom pfs-rrip xlat=unix 0 0


ofcouse the rpc.mountd daemon should be running check it using ps -aef | grep mountd .

pfs_mountd &
pfsd &
pfs_mount -x lower_case -x no_version /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /cdrom

should do the trick

Hi Reggie,

get the new "mount(1m)" patches and use the new option "-o rr" (RockRidge)...

Thank you all for the info.

Paula,
The CD is for general UNIX/LINUX distribution.

Manoj,
How to launch rpc.mountd Daemon?


Reggie

[MANOJ SRIVASTAVA]

Hi Reggie


edit /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf and change start_mountd to 1 and then do a /sbin/init.d.nfserver start to start the mountd daemon

Manoj,

I followed your instruction and modified /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf, but still cannot run pfs_mountd after having rpc.mountd up and running. (ps -aef shows rpc.mountd)

Any suggestion? (We got HP-UX 10.20 here, by the way.)

Best regards,

Reggie
