To set case insensitivity from the CLI, use the ibrix_caseinsensitive command. To view task
information related to case insensitivity, use the ibrix _task command. See the HP StoreAll OS CLI
Reference Guide for more information.
Case insensitivity and operations affecting directories
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. This situation applies to the following:
• Windows or Mac copy and paste
• tar/untar
• compress/uncompress
• cp -R
• rsync
• Remote replication
• xcopy
• robocopy
• Restoring directories and folders from snapshots
The case-insensitive setting of the source directories is not retained on the destination directories.
Instead, the setting for the destination file system is applied. However, if you use a command such
as the Linux mv command, a Windows drag and drop operation, or a Mac uncompress operation,
a new directory is not created, and the affected directory retains its original case-insensitive setting.
