English Amiga Board - View Single Post - FS-UAE gets confused with duplicated directories

Hi, FS-UAE has code to work around that fact that UNIX/Linux file systems are generally case-sensitive. But, it does not detect "duplicate" directories. I haven't checked exactly how it will behave in such circumstances, but it will probably just use the first one it seems (could be random).

I don't think I'll try to handle this (I would have to merge directory views -and where to store new files?).

But, if these duplicate directories were created *by* FS-UAE, then I would definitively want to fix it. Without more information, I'll just assume that the directory duplication happened outside of FS-UAE...
