How do I mount CDROM ?

[kohdavid]

I tried this step:

1. Added entry for the device in /etc/pfs_fstab:
/dev/dsk/c2t2d0 /cdrom pfs-rrip xlat=unix 0 0

2. Startup deamon:
# nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd&
# nohup /usr/sbin/pfsd&

3. Mounting:
# /usr/sbin/pfs_mount /cdrom

The problem is in step 2 while executing the commands it seems like the system is busy and doesn't return the following command prompt. I've tried waiting but it seems like it just 'hang' there. Please help. Thanks in advance

kohdavid,

I am installing Oracle today and have just mounted the first CD of the set and here is what I did:

nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &
nohup /usr/sbin/pfsd &
/usr/sbin/pfs_mount -t rrip -x unix /dev/dsk/<cd device filename> /cdrom

Note that I did not do anything with /etc/pfs_fstab as you did in your step one.

Everything mounted fine. No pfs_fstab file was written.

Hint: when you have to unmount the CD, be sure to use pfs_umount.
