Remote mount cdrom

[mrn]

Hi All,

I've got a problem, I remote mounted a cdrom from one solaris server to another, seems to work ok on remotre server can cd to /cdrom and I see
s0 s1 s2 s3 s4 s5

however when I cd s0 and ls nothing is shown, however if I look on the local server I can see the files.

Any Idea?

what did you share?

you have to share /cdrom/cdrom0/* if you want them to be shared. if it is a multi-session CD you nede to share the inidividual subdirectories.

It would seem its somthing to do with case if I cd to a dir using all lower case filenames its ok. If the filename has any uppercase chars it fails. I guess they must be a flag I'm missing.

really?

it works on your local machine, but not over the network?

do you have anything else shared on the 'server' ... anything else in /etc/dfs/dfstab ... ?

 

[mrn]

No nothing else shared

ok ... possibly the nfsd isn't started ...

have you run:

/usr/lib/nfs/mountd
/usr/lib/nfs/nfsd -a 16

(taken from /etc/init.d/nfs.server)

the other alternative is to put a line in /etc/dfs/dfstab like /export/home for sharing, then the nfs server will start at boot time, and the nfs.server script can be started and stopped easily.

see if that helps ... i'll delve deeper if it doesn't.

No NFS has started ok, I can see the first level of "lower-case" directories, it's only when I go down a level (With Upper-case) that I get the problem. I can mount another cd (all lower-case) no problems.

if you do a 'find . -type d -ls' from the base of the mount point, do they match on the different machines?
