I was not able to detect any sort of case sensitivity using either the start 
menu or a console prompt. Is it possible that Corel Draw occasionally uses an 
8.3 directory identifer?

Subject: [OpenAFS] OAFS 1.7.x Win and Case (In)Sensitivity

Hi.

What's the story with case insentitivy or sensitivity with the Windows OAFS 
client?

Of course, OpenAFS is case sensitive and Windows is not. So, does the client 
attempt to resolve things irrespective or case or should it fail if indeed the 
case doesn't match?

In this specific case, Corel Draw is attempting a CreateFile call on a path 
into AFS with everything completely capitalized (why Corel Draw does this in 
some cases and in others has the path correctly upper and lowered, dunno). When 
Corel does the all caps, according to Process Monitor, the operation fails with 
PATH_NOT_FOUND.

Looking at DebugView with fs trace on ... I see:

cm_EvaluteVolumeReference for string
[@vol:CNF.CORNELL.EDU#HOME.STAFF.DWB7]
  Found cell [CNF.CORNELL.EDU] and volume [HOME.STAFF.DWB7] 
RDR_EvaluateNodeByName FAILURE code=0x6654321d status=0xc000003a

I see that 0xc000003a is ineed STATUS_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND

So, this makes me wonder why if I in the start menu were to type in the same 
full path in all caps, a windows explorer window opens with the folder.

Should this be reported as an OpenAFS bug or do I need to engage Corel to try 
and get them to use case sensitive paths in their calls?

Thanks.
