Public bug reported:
Mount your home share from an openSuSE 11.1 Samba server or an 3.0.33 Samba
server (gentoo) with
preserve case=yes
short preserve case=yes
case sensitive = auto
set on the server.
Try to enter into the "Documents" folder by typing
cd documents
(lower case by purpose)
Although it should fail (because it should be case sensitive), it will
succeed and an ls shows your documents.
The big problem is that when you try to edit your files via your
favorite editor (i.e. nano) or to show them via cat it will fail telling
you that the file doesn't exist (but you were able to successfully enter
the directory, you even could enter a subdirectory, but accessing the
files inside will fail (although ls shows them to you)).
As other distributions doesn't show this issue when mounting Samba
shares and it only happens with Ubuntu 8.10 and Ubuntu 8.04.1, but not
with Debian 4.0 (can't remember the r-code, might be 4 or 6, can't check
this now, sorry) and other distributions like openSuSE 11.1 mount them
without this behavior, it seems to be a Ubuntu-specific bug.
