samba - Aug 2007 - cifs module and nocase option

Hello all,
I have a question about the cifs module. I need to mount cifs mounts
from Linux clients to a Samba 3.0.22 fileshare. I then use the cifs
module to mount the share. My problem is that i need path and
filenames to be case insensitive from the client part. Solutions i
found are:
1) use 'unix extensions = no' in smb.conf
2) execute 'echo 0 > /proc/fs/cifs/LinuxExtensionsEnabled' in the
cifs client

Both solutions are not perfect for me as i lost unix extensions. Only
case insentitivity is required for me.
I then found the 'nocase' option in cifs kernel module ('Request
case
insensitive path name matching' as said in the README), but it does
not look to work: i have the same problems as reported here:
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4614

Is there a way to have case insensitivity for cifs client ?
Is there another solution ?
btw, do someone know how long smbfs will be present in the kernel ?

Thanks !

Hi all,

I have the same question regarding the cifs mount "nocase" option.
The nocase option is used by the cifs mount as it works well for 
directories (case insensitivity) but it does not work for filenames (case 
sensitivity).
