And you are too lazy to solve that. Please refrain from such stupid conclusions. This is as previously mentioned a problem I can't easily fix. Changing potentially 11388 (find /src -type f -name \*.[cChH] | wc -l) files _manually_ is a rather tedious task. First of all, I need _access_ to be able to change them, and trying to convince Windows, OS/2 and Novel developers to care about case in future is sadly too much to ask. I was hoping that my previously posts was enough to convince people that having such an _option_ would be a good thing, but you'r post emphasises the need to spoon-feed the problem. > And then you want the whole Unix world to implement (or even accept) > such a hack only to work-around (no, it is no solution - only a > work-around) your problem at your work. > please see above sentence about stupid conclusions. > >It's not as easy as doing a 'find' ;) > > Generally it is that easy.

There is a reason why JFS, HPFS, VFAT, etc. filesystem support this option, so why should'nt it be generally available? On a side note, JFS (kernel 2.4-19-pre8-ac5) sucks _badly_ when accessing large files (~1GB). I can write some more info under another subject, if anybody is interessted. -p. > > Bernd > -- > Bernd Petrovitsch Email : bernd@gams.at > g.a.m.s gmbh Fax : +43 1 205255-900 > Prinz-Eugen-Straße 8 A-1040 Vienna/Austria/Europe > LUGA : http://www.luga.at > > > -- > Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel. > Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/kernelnewbies/ > FAQ: http://kernelnewbies.org/faq/ > -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
