Forcing CIFS file names to lowercase

Description

This procedure enables you to force all CIFS file names to be stored on the filer in lowercase. You should do this if you have CIFS clients, so that they do not change the case of NFS file names on the filer that were originally lowercase.

If you perform this procedure, you should do so before Windows files appear on the filer.

After you complete this procedure, the filer stores all CIFS names in lowercase and does not preserve case.

Step

To force all CIFS file names created by CIFS to be lowercase, complete the following step.

Step Action
1 Enter the following command:

options cifs.save_case off
