I'm trying to mount a DVD into AIX 5.3.

If I use the command

mount -v cdrfs -o ro /dev/cd0 /mnt

I can read the content of the DVD but the file names are truncated.

It I use the same command above with -v udfs option, It returns:

"unformatted or incompatible format"

Is there a way to see this disk ok in AIX environment? I cant see it ok in Windows.

Thank you very much!

Hi

Looks like your DVD was burned in Joliet format (remember the format fo DOS filenames?? 8.3 characters ??) So now you have some options, one is to burn the DVD again using SW that can work with UNIX names. Another is to use the new versions of cdrecord from Linux Toolbox for AIX, i'm nit usre this one works.

Hope this helps
