No panic message or > anything--it's just like I pressed the reset button. I've not had it panic on me under those situations, but it does do weird things. I think I'd either get an empty directory listing, or it would say "path too long" or something like that and any relative path stuff like "cd .." wouldn't work. I'd have to give a full path to get where I wanted to go, even if it was the _same_ directory. I've also had cases where I was drilling down through the directories in the Save File dialog in Navigator and I would get incomplete directory listings. Also, it seems, if I try to save a file that way, the file ends up corrupted. If I save it to a local filesystem and then move it over manually, its fine. Other than those small annoyances, it seems to work great. Oh yeah, I've noticed one more thing. When you're at the root of a mount, you can cd into a directory using any case, but if you get the case wrong, you don't get a listing. Here's an example: root@tech43 [/smb/rsisfs1/d]# ls ADMINNOTIFY/ REB98/ SECURITY/ SHARES/ tmpacls.bat* CPQIS1/ RECYCLER/ SETACLS.BAT* TEMP/ root@tech43 [/smb/rsisfs1/d]# cd reb98 root@tech43 [/smb/rsisfs1/d/reb98]# ls root@tech43 [/smb/rsisfs1/d/reb98]# cd ../REB98 root@tech43 [/smb/rsisfs1/d/REB98]# ls ARCHIVE/ PACKAGES/ AUTOEXEC.BAT* PCRDIST/ BATCH/ REBMIR.LOG* ... and so on ... root@tech43 [/smb/rsisfs1/d/REB98]# cd packages packages: No such file or directory. root@tech43 [/smb/rsisfs1/d/REB98]# cd PACKAGES root@tech43 [/smb/rsisfs1/d/REB98/PACKAGES]# So... the case-insensitivity only happens at the root of the mount. Should it happen everywhere? It'd be nice if it did. :-) -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet.
