Hi,

I have a strange problem with reiserfs and SuSE 9.1. There seem to be
pairs of filenames which are not different in the same directory.

An example is nb3001/mm3001:
/tmp> mkdir nb3001
/tmp> mkdir mm3001
mkdir: kann Verzeichnis „mm3001“ nicht anlegen: Die Datei existiert
bereits
/tmp> rm -r mm3001
> ls nb3001
/bin/ls: nb3001: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden

This problem exists on any reiserfs partition an any of my SuSE 9.1
systems. If I change to ext3 everything is OK. Even reiserfs on SuSE 9.0
ist OK.

No matter whether you create files ore directories. ls always shows the
created file, but rm, chown, ... may use both!

Some other pairs are bb3001/am3001 gb3001/fm3001 mb4001/lm4001.

Any hint where the problem or better the solution is?

Best
Uwe
