Is there a way I can mount NTFS and VFAT partitions and make them case-insensitive? Somehow I installed Linux this time around and it's all case sensitive. Argh.

I am working with a third party that use windows to compile. When we port that code I am running into a lot of case issues where the includes are not case sensitive. Is there any option in GCC to make it case insensitive. I know its a long shot, as I have done reading and does not seem so.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm rsync'ing a bunch of files between a Windows and a Linux system. Since not all Windows care about case, some of the files on the Windows system no longer have the same casing as they had on the Linux system. But rsync now treats these files as different and uploads a new copy.
Is it possible to have rsync ignore the case?
Recently I've been migrating my development environment to ubuntu (desktop edition, because this is not a server, is just my computer) and I've been having some problems with apache case-sensitive (I'm an absolute beginner with it). I want to make apache case-insensitive, but I didn't find a complete and easy to follow solution online more than doing this:
From the command line, type sudo su to get root privileges.
nano /etc/apache2/mods-available/speling.conf
Type CheckSpelling on and hit ctrl-x, y to exit and save the file.
type a2enmod and then speling and hit enter.
type /etc/init.d/apache2 reload to reload apache.
Mistype a url to test it.
I found that here: [URL]. It worked for some things but I'm still having a lot of problems with capitalization. I don't wanna go back to windows an ISS. BTW I'm using ubuntu 10.10 desktop edition 32-bits, and I've not moved any apache configuration more than that described above.
I'm using Centos 5.4 and Subversion 1.4.2. I use MySQL to authz user when connect to SVN. In MySQL database, I have a username 'Harry', and in the file access control, I typed username 'harry'. Now I just can login with 'harry' user, cannot with 'Harry'. How can I check lower case on SVN before it requires authz, I tried to use AuthzForceUsernameCase Lower but apache cannot start.
This is my subversion.conf file

DAV svn
SVNParentPath /svn
SVNListParentPath on
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Authorization Realm"
AuthzSVNAccessFile /var/svn/svnauth

I know it's against the unix way and all that but I need a regex cd for a script to automatically move up an NTFS tree.

I tried
find . -name -i pattern
And it does not work.
I am trying to do a search for the certain books, and I am trying to make it case insensitive. what I have come up with so far is this :
Code:
Database.txt
RETARDED MONKEY:RACHEAL ABRAHAML:30:30:20
GOLD:FATIN:23.20:12:3
StUPiD:JERLYN:20:40:3
Code:
echo -n "Title: "
read Title
echo -n "Author:"
read Author
echo ""
valuecheck='grep -i "$Title" Database.txt | grep -i "$Author" | awk -F":" '{ print $1}''
echo $valuecheck
if [ $Title = $valuecheck ] ; then
echo "HOHOHO"
else
echo "too bad"
fi
The issue which I am having is that, when it does the search for the correct row to be inputted into valuecheck, it will input the value as written in the database, which is in Uppercase. For this case, if I type in stupid for $Title and jerlyn for $Author, it searches the correct row, but the awk will print "STUPID" into the variable as that is what is written in the database. So how can I make my if statement case insensitive? Currently it reads like this:
Code:
if [ $Title = $valuecheck ] ; then
which means
if [stupid = StUPiD ] ; then
How can I make the if statement it case insensitive to allow it to display "HOHOHO"
I am downloading some files via tftp from the server (call it my server) and I need the server to be case insensitive to the file names requested. That is If I request "SoMe.TTL" and the actual file name is "some.ttl" it should send "some.ttl" back! Right now it is case sensitive and is a pain in the but because some windows clients upload files to that directory and the names can have any case. Furthermore, the file request mechanism must allow the user to input the required file name, hence the user can write using any case. Can the tftp-server solve cases by it's own? How about dnsmasq's internal tftp server? Ok, maybe I wasn't explicit above:
I need to make the fedora tftpd-server Case Insensitive!
I am trying to setup fstab to automatically mount my NTFS partitions. I have used various Mount managers to create the entries in fstab. The fstab seems fine, but when mounting at boot or even via Nautilus I get the error message that I do not have permission to mount the disk.
1) Can this permission be set in the fstab file? If so what is the syntax of the fstab entry?
2) If not, is there a tool i.e. GUI to set the mount permissions?
Under both Windows and Fedora 11, my USB flash drive was mounted using the volume label of "RBR Astro". Under Fedora 12, it now gets mounted as "RBR ASTRO". I like my old case. It's a small nuisance, but it also ended up breaking all my links to files/directories that I store on flash. How can I get the flash to mount while preserving case?
View 2 Replies View RelatedUsing: Debian Lenny. I want to mount 2 NTFS partitions in my /etc/fstab file, so that I needn't manually mount them when I want to use them. One of the partitions is the primary partition on the same hard disk as my Debian /, /home, and /swap partitions. The other is a 2nd internal hard disk.
a) Should I use ntfs-3g instead of ntfs as the /etc/fstab filesystem? I want to be able to read and write to the partitions as a user and not just as root.
b) I have read on the forum that "mounting NTFS partitions through fstab is not a great idea" - I thought that any dangers of doing so were ancient history. Why would it not be a good idea?
c) Which options should I use?
d) If I use 'user' instead of 'users' so that one specific user (me) can use the partitions, how do I specify which user name? (The man page is annoyingly unclear about this).
I first noted a few weeks ago I couldn't mount my NTFS partitions using dolphin. At the time I was having problems with windows, so I thought - naturally, they are marked as dirty, no biggie-
However, I still can't mount them and I know they are clean. I get the error: "filesystem is neither well know nor in /proc/filesystem nor in /etc/filesystems" which is strange since I can mount just fine in the console using mount -t ntfs-3g.
On my laptop I have Windows and Ubuntu, and I use Ubuntu very often. How can I auto-mount the NTFS partitions once I run my Ubuntu without the need to manually ask to mount it and confirm with the root password each time and for each partition?

I have U1004 dual boot with MSW7 and sometimes want to mount those NTFS partitions for mostly reading operations. Ubuntu makes it easy by a single click in Nautilus. How to change this behavior and allow mount NTFS partitions with user's password only, like sudo behavior, for example? In addition, how to mount them read-only?
Note: I mount those NTFS partitions occasionally and there is nothing in fstab about it.
Nautilus mounts NTFS partitions when I acces them, and before mounting, it asks for root password. Is there a method to auto-mount ntfs partitions on Debian startup, without requiring root password each time they are automatically mounted ? And without installing additional packages.

I know that the last time I've used it with windoze, I had to force shut the **** thing down 'cause it was frozen real good (pretty unusual right !?!).The thing is, with ubuntu it sees it and mounts it no problem.

I was attempting to format a flash drive, and well, used the wrong sdX device. I've run DiskInternals Partition Recovery tool, and all my files are still there (you have to pay $139 to have it restore the files). Is there any way using tools in linux to restore the ntfs partition/files? It was a single disk with the partition taking the entire drive. I've tried mounting it with the -t option, but it says invalid ntfs signature. Man, two lessons the hard way, make sure you backup (duh) and be careful what you type as root.

I'm setting up an Ubuntu server to replace my aged Pentium IV Slackware box. It's a Dell Inspiron 560 with modest core-2 duo processor, 8 gigs of ram, and a pair of good sized hard disks. I came upon a good deal on a couple of 40gig Intel SSDs. I'd like to use one in the server. I'd like to use the SSD for the relatively invariant stuff, because they write slow, and are life-limited in the # of writes. So:
/bin
/usr/bin
/boot
/etc
/lib
/usr/lib
/usr/local/lib
/mnt
/opt
The best way IMHO to achieve this would be to make the SSD the root, and mount hard drive partitions/filesystems to it to places such as:
/var
/media (Here you read and write giant files. Hard disks do this just fine. One will work especially fine if one particular hard drive is dedicated to this.)
/root
/home
/tmp
A quick "df" yields a list of filesystems. There are four that are not tied to any device!
/dev
/dev/shm
/var/run
/var/lock
(df also discloses that the root filesystem is presently standing at 502megs. Guess it'll fit in a 40-gig SSD). These deviceless filesystems worry me. Are they created magically on boot? What's required to make the system magically create them on boot? If I copy the filesystem over to the SSD and redo the grub config, will it Just Work? Web searches reveal subtleties WRT mount points.
I am doing major deployment of opensuse 313 pcs from windows to opensuse. I am having a problem that I have to keep 2 ntfs partitions intact will deleting the partition that has windows. Now everything goes well, opensuse installs but the problem is that I cannot give user full rights to ntfs folders. I have used graphical file permission methods n terminal chown n chmod methos but still permissions revert back to root.

Whilst accessing an external NTFS drive mount.ntfs takes up a lot of CPU. I am not sure if its mounting the drive using mount.ntfs or mount.ntfs-3g? How do I find out and if they coexist how do I make the default mount drive ntfs-3g?
When I try to rename a file in a mounted NTFS file system by only changing the letter case, I receive an error message saying that it is not possible because the file already exists. This must be because ntfs is not case sensitive as regards determining a file name. However, it can use and remember whatever case you want to use. So I can change the letter case in the file's name in two steps: saving the file with a different name first and then renaming it again with the original name and the letter cases I want to use.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a vfat partition under RedHat RHEL5 that I currently must mount manualy after each boot. I would like it to auto-mount but I cannot find a way to do this without it becoming ro except for root. My other partitions auto-mount just fine. I have tried the vfat as a separate partition and as a VLM logical drive (as it currently is).
The fstab statement:
"/dev/VolGroup00/LogVolDos /dos vfat noauto,users 0 0"
allows me to mount it as a user. The statement:
"/dev/VolGroup00/LogVolDos /dos vfat defaults 1 2"
is what I use for other VLM partitions, but for the vfat it seems to only allow root access. Manually mount this partition is OK, it's just that I have sometimes forgotten and then it is not included in backups. What do I need to do to make the vfat auto-mount as accessible for a user?
I made a disk image of a vfat fat16 using:
Code:

I have a problem mounting my ntfs-formatted hard drive correctly, when it's connected to Adaptec RAID 5405 like single volume (JBOD, "Just a Bunch Of Disks")
BUT!!! It mounts root-read-only just with "mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/win"
AND
mounts fine according the fstab line if I connect SATA-cable to motherboard, but no adaptec raid 5405 (no JBOD) code...
So, how can I make the JBOD mounts for -rw and any user?
