- I have a ISO9660 format cd-rom that I would like to keep mounted and
- nfs export to other machines.
-
- Question 1: how do I mount it at boot time so that it stays mounted?
-
- Currently, I can mount it at boot time as long as I load the CDROM
- filesystem first (kl_util -l CDROM), but when I log in the workspace
- manager insists on ejecting it. I have tried putting the mount entry
- in both the netinfo mounts directory and in /etc/fstab, with
- appropriate commands in the /etc/rc* files to mount it either way.
- For a 4.3 filesystem, putting it in /etc/fstab instead of the netinfo
- mounts directory seems to be enough to keep it permantly mounted (it
- worked with the NeXTSTEP 3.0 upgrade disk). For ISO9660 (cfs)
- filesystems this doesn't seem to make a difference.
-
- Question 2: When I nfs mount the disk onto our Sequent, ls -F of a
- large directory (from the Sequent) results in each file (actually
- subdirectory, if that makes a difference) being listed twice,
- beginning with the 100th file. Has anyone else encountered this
- apparent nfs bug?
-
- This also happens with ls -l, but not with a plain ls, so the problem
- seems to be confined to ls options that require a stat(2) system call.
-
- In case all this isn't clear, what I see when I do an ls -F from the
- sequent of the nfs-mounted cd-rom is:
-
- subdir001/
- subdir002/
- subdir003/
- subdir004/
- .
- .
- subdir098/
- subdir099/
- subdir100/
- subdir100/
- subdir101/
- subdir101/
- subdir102/
- .
- .
-
- Listing the same directory on the NeXT doesn't give this wierd
- duplication.
-
- Thanks for your help.
