Hi everyone.

A friend has a huge webpage (lots of PHP and HTML) that was developed under Windows, with bad file-naming practices on links and file names (a big mix of uppercase and lowercase naming and linking, almost impossible to fix in a short time).
Obviously, the page works fine on Windows, but on Linux gives a lot of errors related to file names lower/upper case.

So, he asked me for a fast solution on porting the web page from Windows to Linux.
I found one solution that works fine: mounting a local samba share on the Linux server, and pointing Apache to that mount point.
Works perfect with SMBFS file system, but (the page) doesn't works if i mount the share with CIFS (with or without "nocase" option).
No matter if i use "nocase" option or not, CIFS works as case sensitive all time.

Up today, the page works fine with SMBFS, but i'm worried just because is deprecated, and CIFS will become the only choice soon or later.

Linux server is Ultra5 with latest kernel (2.6.30-gentoo-r8 ) and latest samba and mount-cifs packages.

Any ideas?

Thanks
