Hi all,

How can I mount an NFS that filename will appear as lower case?
The NFS used stores filename in upper case while application porgram run on Sun Solaris only accept lowercase filename. now I'm getting trouble in upper/lower case file name.

All nightmare begins in a product named "Snap! Server" . This server claims compatible with Microsoft Windows NT server, Novell Netware server, Apple Share Server, UNIX NFS server and WWW server. In my case, I used it as a Novell Netware and UNIX NFS.

The Snap Server is considered to replace my old Novell Netware Server, with can exports it volume as NFS, such that Solaris machine can mount it. Files are required to import/export form Dos/Windows client and process in Solaris via Novell. And the Snap! server will be a bridge between DOS/Windows client and Solars workstation since it can as Netware Server and NFS as the same time.

It works well in both Novell Netware and NFS well, but ...

When I trying to write a file from DOS client and read it in Solaris, the filename appears as UPPERCASE! The old Novell store filename in 8.3 upper case and the NFS module can convert filename into lowercase. While Snap! considers as NFS, it exports filename as uppercase ( I just simpley use command "mount server_name:/export_volume /mount_point") I'm now seeking solution that, after Solaris mount this server, filename will be seen as lowecase all the time, without user involve.( I have no case-sensitive problem in my case). When I ask my vendor, he said he never met such case before! The OS version is Solaris 2.5.1.

If anyone know how to made it, please send me a e-mail.
