<div>Not that I;m exactly a big fan of NFS but... why would you choose to implement a filesystem that was designed to emulate Windows shares for your UNIX-type environment? You have to kind of expect odd problems like this when you choose to use things for other than their intended purpose. Samba I would say is probably alot more focused on providing storage shares for Windows desktop clients, not for UNIX-type clients. Sure there is some support to do what you want, but just keep in mind that similiar to using sshfs like you were trying before, Samba, was really not designed to be used by UNIX clients. You've already found the most obvious reason... case sensative filenames - which Windows does not support, and UNIX programs expect filesystems on your UNIX machine *will* support it.</div>

<div>That seems kind of like me deciding to use ntfs on a local partition on linux box instead of ext3/4, jfs, reiserfs, etc.</div>

<div dir="ltr">Hello!<br><br>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.<br>
<br>What is the procedure to ensure all the files are saved as is in Samba?<br><br>Thanks,<br><font color="#888888">Elliot</font>
