This patch will not allow a rename that only changes the case of a name. The memcpy just makes sure that when a new entry is created, the existence of a previous negative dentry doesn't affect the case of the new entry. Is there still any interest in getting your patch into the kernel? > Regards, > Lace Shaggy -- David Kleikamp IBM Linux Technology Center
