*What steps will reproduce the problem?*
1. create 2 folders with the same name but one lowercase and the other uppercase in a USB HDD connected to the NAS
2. access both folders from windows

*What is the expected output? What do you see instead?*
I expect to see the contents of each folder, instead, in both folders I see the contents of one of the two. In my case the folders were "family guy" and "Family guy").
I had to change the name from a ssh session.

*What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?*
snakeOS 1.1.0, windows 7

    I think I've had the same problem, I had two folders named "media" and "Media", I think under windows, it recognizes one so u cannot create a second folder of the same name but different case, but don't know why that media folder came to play.

    I think that a newer Samba version will have to be upgraded to fix it.
    Next milestone should have it.
