Re: [cifs-discuss] casesensitivity mixed and CIFS
Hi John, Sorry, I didn't see your previous response. If you send me the test program and the network captures I'll take a look at it.

But you can do it with this small application, which just checks if a file exists (returns true or false). Here is how: First, let's assume there is a file named \\filer\arch\myfolder\myfile.TXT stored on the ZFS NAS. This file has *not* been accessed by a Windows client before. testcifs.exe \\filer\arch\myfolder\myfile.txt will fail. then testcifs.exe \\filer\arch\myfolder\myfile.TXT will work. then testcifs.exe \\filer\arch\myfolder\myfile.txt will work. I have a network trace I can send you directly if you want. Hi John, We have been trying to reproduce this in-house but have so far been unsuccessful. Would you mind providing us with binary network captures of each of the steps: 1. dir \\filer\arch\myfolder\myfile.TXT failing 2. dir \\filer\arch\myfolder\myfile.txt working 3. dir \\filer\arch\myfolder 4. dir \\filer\arch\myfolder\myfile.TXT working What version of Windows are you running on your client?

Thanks Alan for the reply. Could you explain how lookuppnvp is being used exactly? The behavior I am describing is intermittent somewhat. We are trying to narrow down what's happening. Direct access to a file for the first time from a client seems to be case sensitive. Example: dir \\filer\arch\myfolder\myfile.TXT fails. dir \\filer\arch\myfolder\myfile.txt works. As soon as you issue dir \\filer\arch\myfolder\, the case sensitivity goes away and dir \\filer\arch\myfolder\myfile.TXT starts working. I suspect that's due to lookuppnvp's lack of support for case-insensitive path reduction, which has been on the to-do list for some time but not as a high priority. Is this something that is a likely occurrence in your environment or is it just a curiosity that you tripped over? If you cd to arch on a mapped share, can you then cd into MYFOLDER?

Here is the configuration: # zfs get casesensitivity pool003/arch NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE 03/arch casesensitivity mixed- # At the pool level it's set as follows: # zfs get casesensitivity pool003 NAME PROPERTY VALUESOURCE pool003 casesensitivity sensitive- # From a Windows client, accessing \\filer\arch\MYFOLDER\myfile.txt fails, while accessing \\filer\arch\myfolder\myfile.txt works. Any ideas?
