When creating folders using the Konsole on my C860 unix standard unix case sensitivity is not being adhered to. If I create a folder using "mkdir DM2" the folder "dm2" is returned.
How can this behavior to the standard where upper and lower case characters are distinguished? Thanks in anticipation. Ashu ---------------------------------- C860, Cacko 1.20 ROM, 1GB Trancend CF, 1GB Kingmax SD, DL-660 WiFi |

could it be that you are writing to a flash card with fat instead of ext2/ext3?

It is my understanding that in Linux, folder names with less than six(6) characters will always use lower case.

Just tried it out on my desktop, mkdir DM2 gives me a folder called DM2, on my C760 it works fine on the main flash, but gives lowercase dirs on FAT filesystems (SD and CF) Stu |

Thanks for the info. Doug |

Just tried it out on my device. Thanks to you all for resolving this. Cheers, Ashu |
