Hi,
I am having a wierd problem. I am running MAC OS 10.1.5 but I thought maybe you BSD guru's could shed some light.
I am trying to share files between a PC running Win2K and a Mac OS X server running 10.1.5. I am using mount_mbfs from the command line. I have found that mounting a Fat32 share and moutning a NTFS share are different in respect to case sensitivity. If for example I mount the FAT32 share and cd into the mount and try to copy a file named Test.txt I can use either:
cp TEST.TXT
cp test.txt
and I can even use cp TeSt.TxT and it will understand what file I am talking about.
However if I do the saem thing but the share is on a NTFS partition it will not reconise the file unless I use the exact case. However if I create a file called TEST then try to create a fiel called tEsT is says the file is already present?!?
Is there a way to get the mount_smbfs to ignore case when mounting a NTFS share?
I have tried the -c case options but this made no difference. I need this to work as I am using some scripts that call 1000's of files and it's failing on case.
(and changing the script or file names are not an option)
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt
