NAME
hfm - high sierra file manager
DESCRIPTION
The DG/UX kernel provides configurable support for High
Sierra and ISO 9660 formatted Compact Discs (CDs). The high
sierra file manager lets the system administrator mount a CD
into the UNIX file system hierarchy. A mounted CD will
appear as a readonly UNIX file system. The mode of all
files from the CD will be readonly and executable for user,
group and other.
Filenames in High Sierra or ISO 9660 format are uppercase,
but for convenience, they are translated to lowercase by the
high sierra file manager. All input filenames are similarly
translated to uppercase. High Sierra and ISO 9660 mounted
file systems can be NFS exported in the same way as any
normal DG/UX file system. The mount point must be added to
/etc/exports and the exportfs(8) command must be executed
after the file system is mounted. This will be automatic if
the mount of the CD is in your /etc/fstab file. Since most
current CDs available in high sierra or ISO 9660 format are
for PC's, the high sierra file manager will be most useful
when used with a DOS emulator.
In order to use the high sierra file manager, you must
configure the hfm() pseudo device into your kernel.
sd(insc(),*)
st(insc(),*)
inen()
loop()
pmt()
prf()
meter()
hfm() # this is the line that must be added.
Once the kernel is built and running, you may use the
mount(1M) command to add the high sierra or ISO 9660 file
system to the UNIX file system hierarchy.
mount -t cdrom /dev/pdsk/4 /pdd/cdrom
The special device mentioned in the mount command is the
block special representation of the CD device in /dev/pdsk.
The type "cdrom" must be used with mount to route the mount
request to the correct file manager.
You may add a line to the /etc/fstab file to have the mount
occur when the system is brought up to init level 3.
/dev/pdsk/4 /pdd/cdrom cdrom ro x 0

The umount(1M) command may be used to unmount the CD from
the file system hierarchy
umount /pdd/cdrom
To export the file system on the CD, in lieu of adding it to
/etc/exports:
exportfs -iv /pdd/cdrom
When the mount(1M) command is issued, the CD device will
lock the CD platter into the unit until a successful
umount(1M) is issued.
The high sierra file manager does not support the path table
or the extended attribute record from files on the CD, as
these are unnecessary to the UNIX file system
implementation.
