HP-UX HFS mounted on Fedora Core 4

[Rolf Arne Ueland]

Hi,

Does anybody have clue on how to mount a HP-UX HFS filesystem on Linux FC4?
I can see my SCSI adapter (Adaptec 2110S) just fine using the i2o drivers, but no luck in mounting my Optical Disk through a HP SureStore 9100mx.

Have search forums and sites all over without any luck.

Shalom Ralf,

You can not directly mount an HFS filesystem via the network with any Linux distribution.

You can not mount this HFS fs via scsi at all.

You must first export the filesystem using NFS.

Lets do an example:

In HP-UX
filesystem is named: /schmobageldata

vi /etc/exports
/schmobageldata

save the file

exportfs -av

By default on HP-UX nfs.core and nfs.server should be running. If not:

vi /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf

NFS_CLIENT=1
NFS_SERVER=1
NUM_NFSD=4


Start NFS server as follows:

/sbin/init.d/nfs.server start

Now you can mount via a network using nfs

mount -F nfs servername:/schmobageldata /localdir
