- /* ---------- "Can I mount a SGI CD-ROM Filesystem" ---------- */
- I successfully mounted an ISO9660 CD-ROM on my SGI (Indigo XS-24
- with IRIX 4.0.5), and now I'd like to make that filesystem
- available to my DECstation 5000 (PXG-Turbo with Ultrix 4.2a).
- Is this possible? I'm having problems.
-
- works just fine, but
-
- "mount orca:/cdrom /orca_cdrom"
-
- returns:
-
- "nfs_mount: cannot mount orca:/cdrom: Unknown error"
-
- I sure would appreciate any assistance!

- Unforturnatly some OS vendors, like SCO, do not support exporting NON-native
- filesystems. If the filesystem is not a UNIX filesystem, then forget it.
-
- The alternative would be to build ISO-9660 capability into you ULTRIX kernel
- and export the CD-ROM from there. Otherwise hammer on the OS vendor about
- their not allowing NFS-exporting of ISO-9660 filesystems.
