Subject: base: problems with case-sensitive name of folders
Package: base
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss
*** Please type your report below this line ***
Way to reprobuce the bug:
- connect an ipod (I dont know if the problem is still present with
other devices)
- create a new folder called DATA (capital letters)
- paste in this folder a lot of data (I pasted more than 12 GB)
- close the /media/IPOD nautilus window
- reopen ipod in nautilus (or unmount and remount it)
- the name of your folder is changed in data (NO capital letters)
(this is stange)
- if you create a new folder called DATA
- system begins to have problems (sometimes one of the folders
disapperar but still exists)
(in the two folder properties you will see that they have the same
contents)
- try to erase them one by one
(you won't be able to erase one of the two folders)
special conditions of my system:
- no swap partition
- rockbox installed on the ipod (don't know if it's important)
I've seen that copying lots of file is not necessary:
if you create a folder "DATA" and go inside it when you go up the name
of the folder is changed in "data".
