Public bug reported:

Hi,

vmhgfs-fuse doesnt seem to care much for upper and lower case usage in
filenames but represents the file just the way it likes.

to reproduce:

ls -l TEST test; touch test; ls -l test; ls -l TEST; touch TEST; ls -l
TEST; rm TEST; ls -l TEST; sleep 6; ls -l test TEST

ls: cannot access 'TEST': No such file or directory
ls: cannot access 'test': No such file or directory
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Mai 12 20:04 test
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Mai 12 20:04 TEST
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Mai 12 20:04 TEST
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Mai 12 20:04 TEST
ls: cannot access 'test': No such file or directory
ls: cannot access 'TEST': No such file or directory

which is:
- make sure none of the two files exists
- create lowercase file
- prove that lowercase got created: good
- prove that uppercase is still not their: FAIL (its there magically)
- create uppercase file
- prove uppercase file got created: good (kind of, the file was already there)
- remove uppdercase file
- prove that uppercase file was removed: FAIL (its still there)
- wait for things to settle
- prove that lowercase file wasnt harmed: FAIL (lowercase file gone)

Please investigate (this was working fine with vmhgfs kernel module).

Thanks

Ulf
