6.5 HP StoreAll OS CLI Reference Guide

ibrix_caseinsensitive
Manages case insensitivity on a file system or directory.
Description
By default, StoreAll file systems and directories follow POSIX semantics and file names are
case-sensitive for Linux/NFS users. (File names are always case-insensitive for Windows clients.)
If you prefer to use Windows semantics for Linux/NFS users, you can make a file system or
subdirectory case-insensitive. Doing this prevents a Linux/NFS user from creating two files that
differ only in case (such as file1 and FILE1). If Windows users are accessing the directory, two
files with the same name but different case might be confusing, and the Windows users may be
able to access only one of the files.
CAUTION: This feature breaks POSIX semantics and can cause problems for Linux utilities and
applications.
Before enabling the case-insensitive feature, be sure the following requirements are met:
• The agile Fusion Manager must be installed on all nodes in the cluster.
• The file system or directory must be created under the StoreAll 6.0 or later release.
• The file system must be mounted.
When case-insensitivity is in effect, a newly created directory retains the case-insensitive setting of
its parent directory. When you use commands and utilities that create a new directory, that directory
has the case-insensitive setting of its parent. See the HP StoreAll Storage File System User Guide
for more information.
Synopsis
Set case-insensitivity on the specified path and all of its descendent directories:
ibrix_caseinsensitive -s -f FSNAME -c [ON|OFF] -p PATH
The -c option turns case insensitivity on or off. The setting applies to all users (NFS/Linux/Windows).
View the current setting for case insensitivity:
ibrix_caseinsensitive -i -f FSNAME -p PATH [-r]
