Description Richard W.M. Jones 2011-04-04 12:28:48 UTC

Description of problem:

They should probably be calling case_sensitive_path on the
path argument, if we detect that the underlying filesystem
is NTFS.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

libguestfs 1.9.16

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:

# virt-cat -d Win7x32 /autoexec.bat
REM Dummy file for NTVDM
# 
# virt-cat -d Win7x32 /AUTOEXEC.BAT
libguestfs: error: download: /AUTOEXEC.BAT: No such file or directory

Expected results:

Both commands should give the same result.

Comment 1 Richard W.M. Jones 2011-07-13 13:36:47 UTC

For virt-edit, this was fixed by commit
2b5fbc882a0a79646b668c7b95442f0b3673d63a, specifically by
this code:

http://git.annexia.org/?p=libguestfs.git;a=blob;f=edit/virt-edit.c;h=dc2e1302a10cdba934179b29f6f1ff622caa433e;hb=HEAD#l531

For virt-cat, the problem sill persists.  We need to take
some of the virt-edit code and copy it over into virt-cat.
