I just noticed that this Debian bug refers to ext3 shares mounted via Samba, whereas the Ubuntu launchpad discussion is about NTFS shares.
The debian report (above) is correct with the default settings for a samba share. However, the correct behaviour is easily reached: modify the samba share so that the case-senstive parameter is set to true. This allows file.txt and file.TXT to be two separate files. I tested this with two Debian machines: a Lenny server and a Lenny client. I administer samba with swat. Using swat, the case-senstive setting is under "advanced" options for the share. The default setting is "auto" which causes the potential data-loss bug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
