After some digging. I found the following user errors ;-)
When not using a mountpoint a z: drive is created and that is working okay.
File systems on Windows can be mounted as drives or as directories.
Unfortunately file systems mounted as directories must be case-insensitive to function properly. This is because Windows treats file systems mounted as directories as case-insensitive regardless of what the file system reports; it will in many cases lookup files with uppercase names (FILENAME
) even if the original application did not do so.
This is an unfortunate limitation of the Windows system and it does not happen when the file system is mounted as a drive or when the file system is case-insensitive.
Thanks for the quick response. Make sense. Will close the issue.
Nice project, good API and happy that it is also available on Windows.
I'm trying to build a FUSE filesystem for OSX and Windows. Got a part working, but when testing on
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.16299.125]
it doesn't work.Also when testing with memfs.go it doesn't work well on Windows. When running in DEBUG mode I see that all files and directories are uppercase. Some issues that I'm having running memfs:
I'm using the latest WinFSP version.
Can you help me out what is going wrong here?
