How do you make a AFP share non case sensitive?

Hi, I'm running in to a problem with FreeNAS formatting mac share drives as case sensitive. I'm wondering if there's anyway to disable that feature.

Thanks.

good question, you can modify zfs to be case insensitive but i don't think that is what you want and i wouldn't suggest ever doing that. I feel like the AFP protocol is the one deciding how to treat case or the client is the one doing this. I would look for a setting is OSX.

Side note: you should probably have case sensitivity it makes life much easier and apple didn't design their handling of case's very well in HFS.

Okay, while tinkering around with it I found a setting for case sensitivity. But it just made the data sheet case insensitive. And I couldn't find any settings related to case sensitivity in the AFP share. And I'm using the nas for storing projects on, and the program that I use does not support case sensitive drives.

What program doesn't support case sensitivity!? That developer should lose their job. I still suspect something else is the problem.

Unity 3d, it's a quality program, they just haven't put that functionality in it. And i don't know what else it could be. Do you know if one of the older versions of freeNAS is case insensitive?

Code:

man afp.conf.5 | grep -A 10 "case sensitive = "
       case sensitive = BOOLEAN (default: yes) (V)
           Whether to flag volumes as supporting case-sensitive filenames.
           If the filesystem is case-insensitive, set to no. However, it is
           not fully verified.

               Note
               In spite of being case sensitive as a matter of fact,
               netatalk 3.1.3 and earlier did not notify kCaseSensitive
               flag to the client. Starting with 3.1.4, it is notified
               correctly by default.

slowfranklin, do I type that in on the server it self?
