CD VOLUME LIST
This command will present a list of CD volumes available on the server, whether they are active, the CD device the volume is inserted into, and the mount status of the CD-ROM.
CD MOUNT [No.] or [volume name]
CD DISMOUNT [No.] or [volume name]
The command mounts or dismounts a CD-ROM as a NetWare volume.
The following switches, or flags, can be used with either the MOUNT or DISMOUNT command.
| Switch |
Description |
| /dup |
Eliminates duplicate file names when extended filenames are converted to the 8.3 naming convention |
| /G=X |
Sets the default Group Access Rights to the volume. Used in conjunction with the CD GROUP command. (X is the assigned group number.) |
| /I |
Ignores errors found with the CD-ROM and forces the volume to mount. |
| /mac |
Adds Macintosh Name Space Support. This command is necessary for the DATA and RESOURCE forks to be visible to Mac workstations on the network |
| /nfs |
Adds NFS Name Space Support |
| /R |
Rebuilds the index file of the volume. |
| /rx |
Rebuilds the index file of the volume and extends the space allocated for that file. Useful when mounting CD-ROMs that have unusually large files, or numbers of directories |
| /W |
Mounts a CD volume with the R/O attribute turned off. This will allow for the changing of file attributes, IRFs, trustee assignments and adding groups and users to a CD volume. |
| /X=[name] |
Excludes a directory tree form the mounted volume. |
CD DIR [No.] or [volume name]
This command lists the Root directory of an unmounted CD-ROM.
CD GROUP ([group name] and [group num])
This command will display /assign groups to a group number 0 to 9. For example, CD GROUP LAW 1 will assign the group LAW to CD Group number 1. The results of this assignment can be displayed with the CD GROUP command and would look like this
**CD ROM Access Group List

*Group: 1>LAW
CD PURGE
This command will destroy all CD-ROM index files.
CD RENAME /D=[No.] [new volume name]
This command will change the volume name of a CD-ROM. When remounting the renamed volume the /R switch must be used. For example, CD RENAME /D=2 ALR1 will change CD device number 2 to the new volume name of ALR1
CD CHANGE
This command will change a mounted CD-ROM volume to another CD-ROM. At once time this command would cause the server to hang. If this command is exhibiting any problems, ensure that all drivers are up to date or use the following work around.
- CD DISMOUNT
- LOAD MONITOR
- Select DISK INFORMATION
- From the list of System Disk Drive, choose the CD-ROM drive where the CD-ROM media is to be changed.
- Select DRIVE OPERATING STATUS
- Select DEACTIVATE DRIVE
- Change the CD-ROM
- Select REMOVABLE DRIVE MOUNT STATUS
- Select MOUNT DRIVE
