For many years now, if I rename a file and keep the characters the same, but change the case of just one character. It fails. Can't rename file, filename already exists. This is an archlinux box about two months behind. But this has been like this for years. Many years.
Which file system is that? FAT32 or VFAT maybe?
Your close, but not. I never tested on ext4, and works fine. type cifs (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,vers=2.1,cache=loose,username=bah,uid=1000,forceuid,gid=1000,forcegid,addr=10.0.0.99,file_mode=0755,dir_mode=0755,soft,nounix,mapposix,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,bsize=1048576,echo_interval=60,actimeo=1,user=cooluser
And is this issue specific to Thunar? I would assume that other file managers or the CLI give the same result.
I assume that this is caused by your SMB configuration ("case sensitive" and "preserve case"). Closing.
