Swapping CDROM filesystem Special thanks to: Thomas Funke ** Unix-Consultant ** thf@zelator.in-berlin.de Larry Blische lkba!lkb@uunet.UU.NET Here it is: If you have NEXTSTEP 3.1 on Black hardware and your having problems copying files from the cdrom. Swap the CDROM filesystem with the one found on NeXTSTEP 3.0 and you will be a happy camper once again. This "bug fix" only works on Black hardware, and the White hardware has the same bug but it does not have the 3.0 filesystem which we can swap. Here's what your directory should look like once the swap has been done: /usr/filesystems/CDROM.fs -r--r--r-- 1 root 3546 Mar 25 1992 CDROM.fs.tiff -rw-r--r-- 1 root 10 Oct 30 16:06 CDROM.label -rw-r--r-- 1 root 16 Oct 30 16:06 CDROM.name -r--r--r-- 1 root 3546 Mar 25 1992 CDROM.openfs.tiff -rwsr-xr-x 1 root 24576 Jul 22 1992 CDROM.util* -rw-r--r-- 1 root 46224 Jul 22 1992 CDROM_reloc Please make sure the the CDROM.util* file has the -rwsr-xr-x permissions. The "s" is easy to miss (I know, I missed it...) (chmod u+s CDROM.util*, to set the s permission) Thanks again to all the great people on the net for the advice and help! Eric "E.T."
