[Bug 550454] New: VFAT Driver Options Ignored
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=550454 Summary: VFAT Driver Options Ignored Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: RC 1 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: idanan@yahoo.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/532.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/4.0.220.1 Safari/532.1 The VFAT driver has options to configure how it filenames are interpreted. Changing these options no longer work. It worked up to 11.1 but not in 11.2 RC1. The specific option being changed is the shortname option. It is extremely important that this because not being able to set shortname=mixed makes collaborating with other operating systems via a FAT32 (common denominator with Linux, Windows and Mac) drive incredibly difficult. For a full explantions of how and why it is supposed to work, see: http://cybernium.blogspot.com/2009/01/linux-fat32-case-sensitivity-issue.htm... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open the gconf editor. Its installed by default, but install it first if that is not the case. 2. It is normally in the system tools section of your Gnome desktop menu. 3. Navigate through the hierarchy of folders to: /system/storage/default_options/vfat 4. On the right, open the mount options. 5. Change the value of shortname=lower to shortname=mixed. 6. Click Accept and close the gconf editor. 7. Unmount and remount all FAT32 devices. 8. Reboot and try again (still does not work). Actual Results: Nothing changes. Filename case is not honored. Example: DSCF0001.JPG shows up as dscf0001.jpg Expected Results: Accessing a FAT32 volume should show the actual case for all filenames. Particularly, ALL CAPS filenames should show up as ALL CAPS. Example: DSCF0001.JPG should show up as such. Note: I am not certain about the component. I put Basesystem but it could be Kernel instead.
