What can I do with uppercase files and directory names on CDROMs over HP-UX 11.0

When I mount a CDROM on a HP-UX machine the directories and files appear with
uppercase names, and the scripts that the disk contain don't run, what can I
do?

It sounds like you are using a CD which was not formated for HPP-UX. You can
mount this with pfs_mount. Te procedure is:

nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &
nohup /usr/sbin/pfsd &
/usr/sbin/pfs_mount /cdrom

To unmount the CD use:
/usr/sbin/pfs_umount /cdrom

You will have ot manually kill the pfs demons afterward if you do not want them
running, but they are not particularly impactive.

Another possbility is that you may forgot to use
an option "-o cdcase" in "mount" command.
I have found that it can display LOWERCASE filenames if I use the following
command,
#mount -o cdcase /dev/cdrom /cdrom

If I just use "mount /dev/cdrom /cdrom" then it only
display UPPERCASE filenames.

Hope this will help you.
