mounting a cdrom

[Murugs]

Hello All
I need to install a software and mounted the cdrom
using the foll command

mount -r -F cdfs /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 /cdrom and using
mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 /cdrom
Both cases

when I do a listing of my cdrom the files are listed
file1;1
file2;1
install.h;1
etc..

I am not able to install my product. I am not sure where come this ";1" gets appended.
Where I am going wrong ..any comments will be greatly appreciated.

Regards
MP

Try this:

# nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &
# nohup /usr/sbin/pfsd &
# /usr/sbin/pfs_mount -t rrip -x unix /dev/dsk/<cxtxdx> /SD_CDROM

where cxtxdx is where your CD device is and SD_CDROM actually exists in your / filesystem. (Note there are three commands.)

Some software vendors (notably Oracle) use this format for HP CD software distribution.

Hi,
Try to mount like this:
mount -F cdfs -o cdcase /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 /cdrom

-o cdcase suppreses the version numbers.

I think that bi is right, you don't usually get ;1 unless the format is rockridge and you are using mount as opposed to pfs_mount.
However I think that the device you are using is wrong,
run an #ioscan -kfnC disk to find the correct device.

I did a mount -o cdcase /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 /cdrom and got it working. Thanks for all your suggestions.
