I am a Samba newbie using 3.0.27 and noticed that Samba allows me to create directories in Samba shares on Windows that have the same name, but different case. For example, "TEST", "tEsT", "test", and "TESt" are all permitted directory names in the same path (root directory of the Samba share). This seems like a bad thing since Windows itself does not allow this with local hard drives.
Linux will allow you to add directories in this way, but not Samba. If you try to create a directory as stated above using Samba, you will get an error from the windows OS that tells you that a directory with that name already exists. What exactly is being done to create the directories?
