[Samba] LFN issue while installing Win2k from SaMBa-share
Hi, when installing Windows 2000 using a DOS-boot-floppy, which connects to a SaMBa-share providing the installation files, the file ...\I386\$oem $\$1\tpc\config.sav\NodeType_Hybrid.reg is copied using the 8.3 naming. So far, this is the behaviour we would expect from an OS not being capable to handle LFNs (DOS) . But now here's the weird part of the story: When installing Win2k from a share running on a Win2k-computer while using the same floppy disk the filename is *long*! Dist: SuSE 8.1 SaMBa: 2.2.5 Settings: all filename depending settings (as per SWAT) are kept as default on both share and global level, e.g. mangled names = YES mangle case = NO How can I solve the issue without changing to Windows?
