/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
