Is UnRAID Case Sensitive? Duplicate Folders with same name in Share

[coolspot]

Hello Everyone,

 

I created a share called \Downloads. Inside Downloads I have a duplicate folder folder called Incomplete and incomplete.

 

One was manually created and the other was created by Deluge.

 

I guess what happened was that I manually created Incomplete, but in deluge set the folder to incomplete and for some reason it decided to create another folder but with a different case.

 

This is causing some problems with UnRAID (SMB) and is not listing out the contents correctly.

 

I had to manually delete the duplicate folder using MC.

 

UPDATE: I see that Linux is case sensitive hence why this is happening: https://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=47808.0 however, it would be nice to be able to turn off case sensitivity.

If you think what case insensitivity means you'll realise what a dreadful kludge it is. Linux's case sensitivity, where each character in a file name has its own fixed value, is the correct way. The problem is with Windows (macOS is also case insensitive by default). At least DOS was properly case insensitive - you typed a file name in either case but on disk it was stored in capitals. More modern OSes preserve case but actively ignore it.

Just for future reference,

 

The Fix Common Problems plugin will find this problem on shares during its normal daily scans, and on all files / folders if you run an extended scan manually

I don't think they'll ever be a way to do that, and I wouldn't be the one who'd want to email Linus to ask.....
