I'm considering moving some users from an unsupported Samba server, to our F760. However it's not clear that the filer can accurately replace all the Samba features.
Some of my users have become accustomed to relying on the fact that our Samba server allows me to either force all CIFS filenames to lower case, or preserve the case, both of which aren't part of the CIFS protocol.
Isthere a way for me to make my filer preserve the case in which files are created via CIFS? Thus allowing users to create and access 2 different files named Test.txt and test.txt.
These are the Samba options I'm using and wondering if there's an equivalent OnTap configuration?
; Preserve filenames and their case case sensitive = yes preserve case = yes short preserver case = yes
Alternatively, can I make my filer force CIFS created files to lower-case? [Default Samba behaviour]?
Are there any other gotcha's or features that the Samba server offers that may not be available on my filer? I want to be sure I can keep these users happy before I move them.
Cheers,
Mark

The option cifs.save_case if set true/on , will preserve the case of the file name. That is the default. If false/off, names will be saved as all lower case.
But file name lookups from CIFS are always case insensitive, there is no way to change that behavior.
