--- Comment #4 from Brion Vibber <[email protected]> --- Ah, I see what you mean now. :) In practice this isn't a big problems; files differing by case will be stored in separate subdirectories because eg 'Foo.jpg' and 'FoO.jpg' don't MD5-hash to the same value: $ echo -n 'Foo.jpg' | md5 0682c25948fa1a2e600dbd7248d6205c $ echo -n 'FoO.jpg' | md5 4ddd48ea9e3c52d2fea89e8a46c348f7 So one would be stored under /0/06 and the other under /4/4d by default, and there's no conflict. You could have a hash collision on the first two digits, but it should be rare to have both a case collision *and* a partial hash collision... One could force conflicts by disabling the hash subdirectories, though. Note that the worst possible case is probably a few broken files on a Windows or OS X server. Copy the installation over to Linux/Unix and no new problems should develop... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
