Forcing uppercase

[DieTer-Xz]

Hi

 

I want to force a directory name to uppercase: omgaudio to OMGAUDIO. I tried changing the name using Konqueror, but that doesn't work, not as a normal user and not as root. The commands cp and rename do not work either. How do I force this directory name to be uppercase?

 

Thanks

Use "mv" to move it to OMGAUDIO.

 

What filesystem is it on?

I'm trying to use the Sony NW-E002 on Mandriva 2007.1 (kernel 2.6.21-5). I'm following this howto. In order to use the Mp3 File Manager, I have to have the directory OMGAUDIO on my walkman and not omgaudio. When I copy the directory OMGAUDIO from my home partition to the mounted walkman, it changes into omgaudio. It is mounted as a vfat filesystem from /dev/sda1/ to /media/disk/. I tried the mv command:

 

[root@localhost disk]# mv omgaudio OMGAUDIO

mv: cannot move `omgaudio' to a subdirectory of itself, `OMGAUDIO/omgaudio'

 

There is however no OMGAUDIO subdirectory:

 

[root@localhost disk]# ls -a

./ ../ NW-E00X_MP3_File_Manager-0.13.jar* omgaudio/ podcasts.txt*

FAT filesystems do not understand case. the two are identical to them. it doesn't matter whether you type OMGAUDIO or omgaudio or OmGaUdIo. so don't worry about it.

The problem is, to the Mp3 File Manager it is important. To recognize the walkman, it needs a directory named OMGAUDIO on it, and not omgaudio. Ah well, I guess I'll just send in a bug report ;).
