Re: How to make mounted NFS directory NOT case sensitive

Chris

I'm not sure why RPGLE can't deal with case-sensitive file systems. Anything you put in quotes can be mixed case, right? There are APIs to retrieve directory names and file names, and there's an API to retrieve the list of NFS mounts - and that'd give you the value you need to start with in the share.

Am I missing something?

Thank you. And since the client is RPGLE on the iSeries, I suppose it
is not possible. Guess I will have to use the windows share with the
MKDIR '/QNTC/SERVER' to use the windows share.

It appears to be working as designed. I found this link (
http://toasters.mathworks.com/toasters/10980.html) which says:

The problem isn't just with the server, it's the client as well. Any
Unix-based NFS client will also operate in a case-sensitive manner, as

far

as I know.

There may be some vendor-specific workarounds (server and client).
