caseSensitiveFS¶
Added in version 1.9.0.
caseSensitiveFS
is an advanced folder setting that affects file name
handling.
With caseSensitiveFS
set to false
(the default setting)
Syncthing’s case sensitivity safety checks are enabled.
Syncthing will then 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.
When set to true
the extra safety checks for case insensitive
filesystems are disabled. This will provide a small improvement in
performance when the underlying filesystem is positively known to be
case-sensitive already. This was the behavior of Syncthing 1.8.0 and earlier.
Note
This option should normally be set to false
. It is
not meant to change the basic principles of how Syncthing
handles case-sensitivity.
