HP-UX UNIX Mount CDROM ( CDFS ) Filesystem Command

To mount a CD-ROM (CDFS) filesystem on an HP-UX system, you can use the mount command with the cdfs filesystem type.

For example, to mount a CD-ROM inserted into the system's CD-ROM drive at the /cdrom mount point, you can use the following command:

mount -F cdfs /dev/cd0 /cdrom

This will mount the CD-ROM filesystem at the /cdrom mount point, making it available for reading and accessing the files on the CD-ROM.

If the CD-ROM filesystem is already mounted at a different mount point, you can use the -f option to force the mount. For example:

mount -fF cdfs /dev/cd0 /cdrom

Note that you may need to use the -o ro option to mount the CD-ROM filesystem as read-only, as CD-ROMs are typically not writable.

For more information about the mount command and its options, you can refer to the mount man page or search online for tutorials and examples.
