The names PIPE, $CLOCK, and NETQ are reserved as special device file names for some versions of DOS and Win95 and can get folks into trouble if you allow linux to create these names. </FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. line 386, file NAMEI.C in /usr/src/linux/fs/vfat directory. Shouldn't this be if (c >= 'a' && c <= 'z') instead of 'A' and 'Z' being caps, or is there a conversion somewhere I missed? Precedence may be saving our butts, but someone should look at this. I was reviewing the UMSDOS to make certain that my DOS names conform to those in the FAT and VFAT fs some they are consistent and ran across this. Looks like a case error.</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Please advise.</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Jeff</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV></BODY></HTML>
