Re: [rdiff-backup-users] Status of rdiff-backup and backup to to CIFS mounted share on Linux

Hi Ben,

The results are not consistent between case sensitive and case
insensitive.  I have repeated over a dozen times.  At one point it was
returning case sensitive results 5-6 times in a row.  I deleted the test
directory, recreated and again have the results as below:
