- Are you sure that PC-NFS isn't translating uppercase letters on the OS/2
- mounted partition? By default PC-NFS translates all uppercase letters
- in a filename to something else as well as "creating" 8.3 compatible DOS
- filenames for mounted filenames that do not conform to 8.3 for the PC.
-
- For example, on UNIX mounted filesystems, lowercase 8.3 compatible
- filenames are translated to uppercase (DOS compatible) filenames.
- I have not used OS/2, but if all of your OS/2 filenames are (or are seen)
- as uppercase to PC-NFS it will translate them into odd names. I don't
- remember if PC-NFS has an option to reverse this translation scheme
- (ie. uppercase 8.3 compatible filenames don't get translated and lowercase
- 8.3 compatible filenames do), but that is definitely what is needed.
- If it doesn't, then what I remember about this problem is that it is
- being addressed and will be rectified soon.
