/MEDIA_FORMAT=CDROM
/MEDIA_FORMAT=[NO]COMPACTION
/MEDIA_FORMAT=CDROM mounts a volume assuming the media to be ISO
9660 (or High Sierra) formatted.
The /MEDIA_FORMAT=CDROM qualifier instructs the mount subsystem
to attempt to mount a volume assuming the media to be ISO 9660
(or High Sierra) formatted.
NOTE
This qualifier specifies a CD-ROM mount (ISO 9660 or High
Sierra). Specify this qualifier when a volume is known to be
in either ISO 9660 or High Sierra CD-ROM format.
The Mount command attempts to read a CD-ROM in Files-11
ODS-2 format by default. This qualifier prevents the Mount
command from attempting a Files-11 ODS-2 mount sequence.
Because it is possible to record parts of a CD-ROM in Files-
11 ODS-2 and other parts in ISO 9660 format, this qualifier
can be used to specify a CD-ROM mount (ISO 9660 or High
Sierra).
/MEDIA_FORMAT=[NO]COMPACTION enables and controls data compaction
and data record blocking on tape drives that support data
compaction.
The /MEDIA_FORMAT qualifier allows you to mount a tape and enable
data compaction and record blocking on a tape drive that supports
data compaction. Data compaction and record blocking increase the
amount of data that can be stored on a single tape.
Records can either be compacted and blocked, or they can be
recorded in the same way that they would be recorded on a
noncompacting tape drive. Note that for compacting tape drives,
once data compaction or noncompaction has been selected for a
given tape, that status applies to the entire tape.
The /MEDIA_FORMAT=[NO]COMPACTION qualifier is incompatible with
the /DENSITY qualifier.
For Files-11 tapes, when you enable data compaction, caching is
automatically enabled.
NOTE
The /MEDIA_FORMAT=[NO]COMPACTION qualifier is meaningful
only for foreign mounts.
The /MEDIA_FORMAT=[NO]COMPACTION qualifier has no effect
on a Files-11 tape. The compaction state of a Files-11 tape
is determined by the state established when the tape is
initialized.
Examples
The following command performs a foreign mount of a tape with
data compaction and record blocking enabled and assigns the
logical name BOOKS to the tape:
$ MOUNT/FOREIGN/MEDIA_FORMAT=COMPACTION MUA0: BOOKS
The following MOUNT command attempts a Files-11 mount of a tape
labeled BOOKS with data compaction and record blocking enabled.
Because the tape was initialized with compaction disabled, the
MOUNT qualifier /MEDIA_FORMAT=COMPACTION has no effect.
$ INIT/MEDIA_FORMAT=NOCOMPACTION MUA0: BOOKS
$ MOUNT/MEDIA_FORMAT=COMPACTION MUA0: BOOKS
