I encountered a strange problem on my DiskStation, which I eventually traced to case insensitivity in file-name matching. My share is encrypted. From a shell prompt directly in DSM, the issue is easy to demonstrate.
Consider the following commands:
In a standard Linux (or more generally POSIX) environment, the capitalized name would not be found in the directory containing only one file, in the lower-case form.
I have found no documentation suggesting that a DSM share would behave as such, except when exposed through a file-sharing scheme that may have more relaxed case sensitivity.
Why am I observing such behavior?
