The
HP-UX 10.10 operating system and later releases include a set of
pfs (portable file system) programs for use with CD-ROM file systems.
The pfs_mount
program includes filename-translation options to convert file and
directory names from uppercase to lowercase and to suppress version
numbers on filenames. These options can be used to allow PC client
users access to CD-ROM files in mounted directories shared on the
AS/U server.
Using the pfs_mount translation options
eliminates the need to run the cdrutil utility
to establish symbolic links to provide the necessary translation
for each CD. The cdrutil utility is for use
with systems that do not have the pfs programs. It is provided with
AS/U in the /opt/asu/lanman/bin directory.
Please refer to the pfs man pages for more information on usage.
The following example shows how you might use the pfs_mount
program with the AS/U server. It assumes that the pfs mount daemons
and RPC server have already been started.
pfs_mount -x unix -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/dsk/c0t4d0
/cdrom
This command mounts the CD specifying lowercase filenames
and version suppression (-x unix) as well as ISO9660 format and
read-only. The device file may be different on your system. You
must create the /cdrom subdirectory manually.
To enable PC client access, you would then share the /cdrom
directory.
net share cdrom=c:/cdrom
