Do you mean that the ntfs-3g introduced 1) and fixed 2)? I've never seen or was reported problem 2). Seemingly the behaviour changed from 2) to 1) and the above patch indeed prevents 1) however it's not entirely correct because the ntfsmount error message is mv I386 i386 mv: cannot move `I386' to `i386/I386': No such file or directory meanwhile the ntfs-3g driver would give mv I386 i386 mv: cannot move `I386' to a subdirectory of itself, `I386/I386' which is the same what one gets with native Linux filesystem and considering the case insensitive nature of NTFS (I386 is the same as i386): mv I386 I386 mv: cannot move `I386' to a subdirectory of itself, `I386/I386' But I'd like to make this corner case to work as expected on Linux as well. Failure is not an option ;) Szaka |
