[Samba] Macs deleting files off RHEL8 server

[itdept_head]

You have to be really careful with shares and macs.
Since each mac can be set to either be case sensitive or not.
It is possible for macs to throw all sorts of errors, if they are operating on mixed case systems.

If the mac assumes it is case sensitive and it is not , it can  either delete files or cause file name clashes that throw errors.

Thanks for the confirmation, Roland. I'll have those looked at.


I've gotten some info that because the server is case sensitive, it could
be interfering with Apple's SMB protocol. Any thoughts on that? It is
something I'll look into.


Kind regards,
