Always use the default expected by OSX, which is case-insensitive. Any time you stray from the beaten path, you introduce yourself to error conditions that the original software developers never bothered testing (or didn't test as thoroughly.) I have often given this advice about the OS drive. Less often, I have given the same advice about external drives. Your situation almost proves it - although you haven't conclusively identified the case sensitivity to be the root cause of the problem, it is highly suspicious, as I've never encountered that problem on hundreds of systems I've supported over the years. _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list Tech@lists.lopsa.org https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
