(OBSOLETED)

PFS, from Young Minds, Inc. (now defunct), was originally adopted by HP to provide accessibility to Rock

Ridge Interchange ﬁle system format on CD-ROM ﬁle systems. The equivalent functionality is now pro-

vided via the HP-UX CDFS ﬁle system type and HP-UX’s standard ﬁle systems commands.

PFS has known functionality and performance problems. HP customers are urged to stop using the PFS

interfaces, including these interfaces,

/etc/pfs_fstab

and /etc/mtab. Customers should move to

accessing all CD-ROM ﬁle system formats by using the standard HP-UX commands, specifying the ﬁle

system type as

cdfs. For example, to mount a CD-ROM ﬁle system, use:

mount -F cdfs /dev/dsk/c0t0d4 /cdrom

There is no need to treat the cdfs ﬁle system type differently from any other ﬁle system type, therefore no

special daemons or commands are required to access the variety of CD-ROM ﬁle system formats.

See mount(1M) and mount_cdfs (1M).
