SYMPTOMS
When you edit or create files on a remote network file system (NFS) share on a computer that is running Microsoft Windows Services for UNIX 3.5, the operations cannot finish as expected. This problem occurs if the following conditions are true:
 * Case sensitivity is necessary to differentiate between files that have the same name.
 * Case sensitivity is necessary to identify the files.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because the Nfsdrd.sys file does not process case-sensitive file names correctly.
