NFS and Windows 2003 Case Sensitivity
 

We're experiencing a very strange problem with an NFS mount FROM a Windows 2003 server ON a Linux system. The patchlevel of 2003 is below .NET 2.0 (where they had problems with this).

What happens is you create a file:

$ touch filename

then

$ ls FILENAME

and you get the same result - it displays it as if it were in caps, but it is not. This is NFSv3.

It only happens on this system.

As for the Linux portion of this, I was reading through the manpage to find out whether there were options I could pass that might tighten this behavior, but I see none that apply to NFSv3.

I'm simply baffled (yeah, I know, why use Windows as an NFS server - the fact is it's a production system and we can't change it right now).

I wonder if anyone has seen this interactivity problem between the two OS's.


Thanks.
