Uppercase sharename

[Vegard Kolbeinsen]

I know this is ridiculous but I have a sort of OCD, so I am a bit stressed that the share name is nas and not NAS. So how can I fix so that the share name is upper/lower case sensitive? I write in the CIFS share that i want it like this but in the windows share it shows as something else. I have tried searching without luck.

How do I fix this?

Thanks!

Where does it not show up the way you want? In the freenas gui or on your windows host?

Sorry it does show in FreeNAS but not in Windows.

That's a Windows setting that might be hard to modify since windows is not case sensitive.

I found this but I don't think it's going to help you.

If you name the share "NAS" windows will display it as "nas". If you name the share "NAS Share", windows will display it as "NAS Share". Use mixed case for your share names and everything should show up the way you want.

Ok, but why is it like this? :P

Because Windows is very old and Microsoft is very conservative.
