caseSensitiveFSΒΆ
New in version 1.9.0.
caseSensitiveFS
is an advanced folder setting that affects file name
handling. When set to true
the extra safety checks for case insensitive
filesystems are disabled, reverting the behavior to that of Syncthing 1.8.0
and earlier. With the safety checks enabled (caseSensitiveFS = false
,
the default) Syncthing will attempt to detect and prevent case-only file
name collisions that can occur on case insensitive systems such as Windows
and macOS, or other systems with case insensitive file systems.
Note
This option should normally be set to false
. It is
not meant to change the basic principles how Syncthing
handles case-sensitivity, but only provides
a performance optimization when the underlying filesystem is
positively known to be case-sensitive already.
