[asterisk-users] Voicemail and remote directory with SSHFS

[Elliot Murdock]

Hello!

Thanks...I set up a Samba mount, which works ok, except that Asterisk
confuses a wave file as a wav49 file.  I think it may have something do with
the way Samba supports case sensitivity.  Since Windows is not very
aggressive when it comes to being case sensitive, I am thinking that Samba
is saving files with the last three characters, wav, as uppercase, WAV.

What is the procedure to ensure all the files are saved as is in Samba?

Thanks,
Elliot
