I was directed to this mailing list as a good source of knowledge about accessing files on Netapp. I hope this question is appropriate; if not, I apologize.
I am working in an environment in which a Netapp filer containing files with mixed-case names is being accessed using both CIFS and NFS. It is important that I be able to access the files using NFS in a case-insensitive manner. Unfortunately, converting all of the filenames to a consistent case is not an option. The NFS access is being done from a RedHat Linux server running Apache. I have considered writing an Apache module to parse the directory structure to determine the actual case of the filename, although this option seems too inefficient.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much for your time,
