CIFS folder&share names

Post by thekk »

Hi Folks,

i recognize a new, maybe bugged, behaviour on CIFS sharing.

If you want to share a folder instead of an partition and you give the share the same name as the folder, the router connect the share name with the foldername.
This will not be happen if the folder name and the share name are different.

i.e.:
folder: ../sda3/test/
share name: test
- everything is fine

folder: ../sda3/test/
share name: Test
- router will make a new folder "../sda3/Test/" and ignore "../sda3/test/"

folder: ../sda3/test/
share name: test1
- everything is fine
