SMB shares work with a negotiation between the capabilities of the server and the capabilities of the client. By default, it tries to enable as many features as possible. By default (case sensitive=auto, preserve case=yes), when using Linux clients to connect to Linux servers, you'll get full case support. If you want to emulate the limited capabilities of a Windows server, you should at least set the following:
case sensitive=no preserve case=no That should give you the intended (mis)behavior. How a file is represented on the filesystem differs from how a file is resolved on the filesystem. Recent windows all have case-sensitive file names, but it resolves case-insensitively. "preserve case" is about how Samba creates files in shares (representation) while "case insensitive" is about how Samba resolves them. "case sensitive=no" doesn't make all Samba magically case insensitive, as you seem to think it should do. There are a few other options that affect cases sensitivity, as you'll see by reading up man smb.conf (or http://oreilly.com/catalog/samba/chapter/book/ch05_04.html) Does setting "preserve case=no" solve your issues ? ** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- case sensitivity option (case sensitive=no) is not honored https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/561281 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
