Ultrix CDROM mounting
I use a DECStation at work which I believe uses Ultrix. Some of our software has been downloaded to CDROM. How do I mount this CDROM under Linux? I have used the following command:
mount -t * /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom
with * as all the file systems from the 'mount' man page, including 'ufs' which someone said should work. The result from using 'ufs' was:
mount: block .... , mounting read-only
ll_rw_block: device 16:00 only 512 char blocks implemented (1024)
ufs_read_super: unable to read superblock
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc, or too many mounted file sytems.
The command to mount this CDROM under the DECStation Ultrix is:
mount -r /dev/rz5c /cdrom
and mount -r /dev/rz5f /cdrom/admin
Any answers?

Use the following command:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt
to mount your CD under /mnt directory.
/dev/cdrom is a link to your CDROM device which may be /dev/hdc1.
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt
to mount your CD under /mnt directory.
/dev/cdrom is a link to your CDROM device which may be /dev/hdc1.

I had already tried all of the standard file systems with the '-t' option, ext2, minix, umsdos, msdos, iso9660, ext, xenix, sysv, ufs. None work.
If this helps, the office machine is a DECstation 5000/33 running Ultrix V4.3 Rev .44

In response to crhild's comment:
'cat /proc/filesystems' produces:
ext2, minix, umsdos, msdos, nodev proc, nodev nfs, iso9660, ufs
Unfortunately, I don't know which file system is on the CD, I assume it is native to Ultrix. The CD isn't damaged, it works fine at the office.

(for see this do "cat /proc/filesystems")
and can you tell me what kind of filesystem is on the cdrom ?
the message you got is similar about the situations
in that the kernel is unable to understand the filesystem
or cause the cdrom is damaged.
