           Summary: Problems with uppercase extensions on fat32
           Product: rsync
           Version: 3.1.0
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org

Hi.

When i try to copy files from a samba-mounted ntfs-Server on Debian to a remote
fat32 Partition on Debian, i get problems with uppercase file extensions.
I assume that the problem is only given when i use the delete option.

For example rsync shows me:
deleting group/Ausschreibung/Ausschreibung/Statistik/jh92c3~1.xls
group/Ausschreibung/Ausschreibung/Statistik/JH92C3~1.XLS

In fact the new file on the target server is:
$ ls /backups/tsk/group/Ausschreibung/Ausschreibung/Statistik/
jh92c3~1.xls

The partition ist mounted on the right way with option
"shortname=mixed". I can
create JH92C3~1.XL on the target Server, but rsync can't. So rsync trys to
delete an update everytime the same files.

Greetings,
Stephan

See http://rsync.samba.org/FAQ.html#2 .  If the filesystem fails to preserve
the case of the name that rsync passes, that would result in the behavior you
described.  That is not rsync's fault.

You can try fiddling with the samba options or use the
"ignore-case.diff"
maintained patch to rsync to work around the problem.
