Absolutely. I've also talked to a few Samba folks at SDC, and one thing they would love to see is conditional case insensitive lookups, e.g.: - we hash case insensitive with collisions, but perform normal case sensitive lookups. - with a new AT_CASE_INSENSTIVE flag to the various *at calls that gets passed down to the dcache we enable CI lookups. _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
