Description
example of bug:
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Microsoft Corporation 1985-2001.
C:\> net use S: \vboxsvr\user
S:\TEMP> mkdir tst
S:\TEMP> mkdir TST
Subdirectory or file TST already exists. <---- normal for WinXP. case insensitive
S:\TEMP> mkdir TST\SECOND
The system can not find the path specified. <---- abnormal. case sensitive !
S:\TEMP> mkdir tst\SECOND
S:\TEMP> echo 123> TST\SECOND\file <---- abnormal. case sensitive !
Can not find the file specified.
S:\TEMP> echo 123> tst\SECOND\file
S:\TEMP> echo 123>> tst\SECOND\FILE <---- normal. case insensitive
S:\TEMP> erase tst\SECOND\FILE <---- normal. case insensitive. bug does not affect the files, only directories!!!
shared folder placed on XFS partition of host.
i found similar ticket 437, but is associated with a very old version of vbox
Why are the directory names are case-sensitive, but filenames not? How to fix?
Cannot reproduce. I tested this with an ext3 file system on the host but this shouldn't matter.
