Hello everybody. After updating from openSUSE 10.2 (32 bit) to the gorgeous green 10.3 and restoring the backup from a USB-hdd, all filenames (.doc-, .odt-, .rtf- and .pdf-files) in a folder on the HTTP-server are lowercase -- is there a way to make them uppercase again? The files are in a lot of subfolders but there is only one level of subfolders. I've Googled for 'uppercase filename linux suse' but didn't find anything I could use. I'm thankfull for any tips, tricks or hints. /Lars
What filesystem do you use on the usb hard drive?
vfat.
It sounds like it has a windows file system which is being mounted with a mount option to make all file names lowercase
I've used it in openSUSE 10.2 and then the file names were uppercase. I guess something is changed in 10.3, somewhere...
Next question: why would anyone want to have filenames in all-uppercase?
Yeah, I know, it would have been a lot smarter to name the files after the corresponding id-number in the database, instead I choose to name them after the course code (it's a system for managing syllabuses). It's a long story... And there is (or perhaps was) at least one good reason for it :) /Lars -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
