Hi! ----
I got a couple of bugreports that Cygwin $ getconf CASE_INSENSITIVE /path # does not work and always reports that the filesystem is case-insensitive - which is not true for NFSv3, and usually not true for NFSv4.1 filesystems coming from Linux (NFSv4 supports case-insensitive filesystems, but that is not the issue...) Example (/cygdrive/l/ is a case-sensitive filesystem): ---- snip ---- $ getconf CASE_INSENSITIVE /cygdrive/l/builds 1 $ getconf -a /cygdrive/l/builds | fgrep -i case CASE_INSENSITIVE 1 $ /usr/lib/csih/getVolInfo /cygdrive/l/builds Device Type : 0x07 Characteristics : 0x00000030 FILE_REMOVABLE_MEDIA : FALSE FILE_REMOTE_DEVICE : TRUE Volume Name : <nfs://derfwnb4966_ipv4:2049/> Serial Number : 5488 Max Filenamelength : 255 Filesystemname : <NFS> Flags : 0x084020cf FILE_CASE_SENSITIVE_SEARCH : TRUE FILE_CASE_PRESERVED_NAMES : TRUE FILE_UNICODE_ON_DISK : TRUE FILE_PERSISTENT_ACLS : TRUE FILE_FILE_COMPRESSION : FALSE FILE_VOLUME_QUOTAS : FALSE FILE_SUPPORTS_SPARSE_FILES : TRUE FILE_SUPPORTS_REPARSE_POINTS : TRUE FILE_SUPPORTS_REMOTE_STORAGE : FALSE FILE_RETURNS_CLEANUP_RESULT_INFO : FALSE FILE_SUPPORTS_POSIX_UNLINK_RENAME : FALSE FILE_VOLUME_IS_COMPRESSED : FALSE FILE_SUPPORTS_OBJECT_IDS : FALSE FILE_SUPPORTS_ENCRYPTION : FALSE FILE_NAMED_STREAMS : TRUE FILE_READ_ONLY_VOLUME : FALSE FILE_SEQUENTIAL_WRITE_ONCE : FALSE FILE_SUPPORTS_TRANSACTIONS : FALSE FILE_SUPPORTS_HARD_LINKS : TRUE FILE_SUPPORTS_EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTES : TRUE FILE_SUPPORTS_OPEN_BY_FILE_ID : FALSE FILE_SUPPORTS_USN_JOURNAL : FALSE FILE_SUPPORTS_INTEGRITY_STREAMS : FALSE FILE_SUPPORTS_BLOCK_REFCOUNTING : TRUE FILE_SUPPORTS_SPARSE_VDL : FALSE FILE_DAX_VOLUME : FALSE FILE_SUPPORTS_GHOSTING : FALSE SectorInfoFlags : 0x07 SSINFO_FLAGS_NO_SEEK_PENALTY : TRUE SSINFO_FLAGS_TRIM_ENABLED : FALSE ---- snip ---- ---- snip ---- $ uname -a CYGWIN_NT-10.0-19045 wingrendel02 3.7.0-0.332.g43ddce194c49.x86_64 2025-12-10 20:22 UTC x86_64 Cygwin ---- snip ---- ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) [email protected] \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 3992797 (;O/ \/ \O;) -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
