problem with mount of iso file

shyjack

Hi folks,

Here I got a problem when mounting a iso file.

I created the iso file based on a sol 9 cd, with software ultrlIso.  The iso file is able to open and explorered by ultrlIso.

While after I transferred the iso file on to a unix box and mount it, the problem arised.

what I did were as below

lofiadm -a /var/tmp/a.iso
mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/lofi/1 /cd

While all the contents under /cd became in lower case and length were truncated with 8 charachters.

with option "nomaplcase,ro" to mount hsfs iso, all contents became upper case, but still with maximum of 8 characters.

Can anyone here guide me on how to workaround this limitation?

thanks a lot.

mount -F hsfs /dev/lofi/1 /cdrom

Thanks for the update.

Changing the mount point doesn't make any difference.

node1:/ # mount -F hsfs /dev/lofi/1 /cdrom
node1:/ #cd /cdrom
node1:/cdrom #ls
_volume.inf  copyrigh     solaris_
node1:/cdrom #

Hi guys,

the problem was resolved.

This is purely related to the bloody software ultriISO.  Once I re-created iso with winISO (as it has an option to create iso from cdrom), all appeared ok.

the only outstanding is that with iso file, lofiadm is not vtoc aware. Thus /s1 is not mounted automatically as vold does.  So I had to manucally extracted slice 1 from the original iso file. below detailed what I did

node1:/sol9 #dd if=solaris9_1.iso of=vtoc bs=512 count=1
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
node1:/sol9 #od -D -j 452 -N 8 < vtoc

I know solaris 9 is an antique in nowaday, but from time to time we still need it, do we?


Also to above "风之幻想",  I LIKE the picture in your pfile, the so sweety girl with a feeling of summer, thank you so much to comfort my eyes.
