Hello
Our 151a8 server is an rsnapshot collector using rsync. Since setting
it up a few weeks ago, i've been noting flurries of file creation
errors in the sync logs. It's taken days to figure this out owing to
the large amounts of data we're transferring, but it's boiling down to
case sensitivity
I created the dataset with the default setting;
"casesensitivity=sensitive". For reasons i don't understand this
results in a dataset that, for directories, is case insensitive
eg: *on the local filesytem*
# touch a
# touch A
(ok, so far so good ...)
# mkdir b
# mkdir B
mkdir: cannot create directory `B': File exists
Are you sure B didn't really exist prior to 'mkdir B' ?
On UNIX and POSIX file systems B and b are different.
casesensitivity=sensitive is the default POSIX behaviour.
casesensitivity=mixed is only useful if you export the filesystem using
SMB/CIFS
