rsync
We are using rsync to transfer some (millions) files from a Windows (NTFS/CYGWIN) server to a Linux (RHEL) server. We would like to force all file and directory names on the linux box to be lower case.
Is there a way to make rsync automagically convert all file and directory names to lower case? For example, lets say the source file system had a file named:
/foo/BAR.gziP
Rsync would create (on the destination system)
/foo/bar.gzip
Obviously, with NTFS being a case insensitive file system there can not be any conflicts...
Failing the availability of an rsync option, is there an enhanced build or some other way to achieve this effect? Perhaps a mount option on CYGWIN? Perhaps a similar mount option on Linux?
Its RHEL, in case that matters.
