[SOLVED] Case-insensitive filesystem issue

Dear fellas,
I am trying to compile an AOSP rom using the following configuration:
- Arch Linux x64
- Latest Kernel 3.12.8-1-ARCH
- BTRFS filesystem
I got the following error:
build/core/main.mk:118: You are building on a case-insensitive filesystem.
build/core/main.mk:119: Please move your source tree to a case-sensitive filesystem.
build/core/main.mk:120: ************************************************************
build/core/main.mk:121: *** Case-insensitive filesystems not supported.  Stop.
So far, I was compiling with no issue. It just starts a couple days ago. I suspect that maybe is due to some kernel change.
Anyone already face this issue?
Appreciate any clue.
========================SOLVED==========================
Here is the solution presented by korn36 that did the magic for the main issue:
Remove this from build/core/main.mk, then compile:
ifneq ($(HOST_OS),windows)
ifneq ($(HOST_OS)-$(HOST_ARCH),darwin-ppc)
# check for a case sensitive file system
ifneq (a,$(shell mkdir -p $(OUT_DIR) ; \
                echo a > $(OUT_DIR)/casecheck.txt; \
                    echo B > $(OUT_DIR)/CaseCheck.txt; \
                cat $(OUT_DIR)/casecheck.txt))
$(warning ************************************************************)
$(warning You are building on a case-insensitive filesystem.)
$(warning Please move your source tree to a case-sensitive filesystem.)
$(warning ************************************************************)
$(error Case-insensitive filesystems not supported)
endif
endif
endif
It will disable the case-sensitivity check.
================edited====================
Again thanks to korn36 for the elegant python switch solution:
find . -name "*.py" -exec sed -i 's/\(bin\/env\ python$\|bin\/python$\)/bin\/env\ python2/g' {} \;
Thanks to Kacper for heads me up to a typo I made.
===============edited=====================
or still other script provided by Scimmia (Thanks Scimmia)
or simply
find . -name "*.py" -exec sed -i 's/env python$/&2/' {} \;
Just FYI both scripts works flawlessly!
Best Regards
Erick

  • How can I copy media from an HFS case-sensitive drive to an HFS case-insensitive drive without getting an error?

    About a year ago, I accidentally created a partition on my drive for my iTunes Music. On that parition, called MUSIC, I selected the filesystem to be an HFS, Journaled, case-sensitive partition. Since then, all of my music, new and old, lives on the case-sensitive MUSIC parition.
    My other partition, called BOX, is an HFS, Journaled, case-insensitive filesystem, as are my external drives I use for archiving and backing up my music.
    My dilemma: when I try to copy my music/iTunes media from the MUSIC partition to a different partition that's case-insensitive, I obviously run into errors saying that certain files can't be copied because they will overwrite others. Subsequently, I can't back up my music and iTunes media to another drive unless it has the same filesystem parameters favoring case-sensitivity. I want to move my media to a case-insenstive drive/partition.
    As the story goes, I'd like to avoid having to reformat and worry about moving my media around because I feel, in the end, I'd end up doing more harm then good in my pursuit to fix this issue.
    My question: is there some way I can detect which files are conflicting with each other, and then manually rename them? My music library runs about 16,000 songs deep, but I'd still feel saved even if I had to go through and manually rename all of the music files so they don't conflict with each other in order to get them on to a case-insensitive drive. Perhaps there's an AppleScript someone knows about that I could execute in my MUSIC partition to see which files/directories are causing my problems? In other words, I'm thinking there could be a way to detect the same file/directory names that are only different soley because of their case.
    Any help, suggestions, or solutions are welcome. Thank you all for your time in helping me solve this!
    And have a Happy Thanksgiving

    How do I restore a case-sensitive,...: Apple Support Communities

  • Case insensitive selects with 'like'

    I use a 10g database (10.2.0.2 same behaviour with 10.2.0.1). What we want is case insensitive selects with 'like' operator in the where clause. NLS_COMP is set to 'LINGUISTIC' and NLS_SORT is set to 'BINARY_CI.
    In a table we have two columns one of type 'varchar2' one of type 'nvarchar2'. The databases national character set is set to UTF8. Case insensitive sorting works with both columns. Select statements with '.... where varchar2col like '%r%' returns also values with upper case 'R' values (that is what I expect).
    The select statements with '.... where nvarchar2col like '%r%' however does not return the row with upper case 'R' values.
    I used SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.3.0 and other clients and the behaviour is the same so
    I think it is not client related.
    Is that a known issue or is there any other parameter to set for UTF8 nvarchar columns?
    Any hint is very much appreciated! Here are the nls settings in database, instance and session:
    DPARAMETER      DVALUE IVALUE SVALUE
    NLS_CHARACTERSET WE8ISO8859P1
    NLS_COMP      BINARY LINGUISTIC LINGUISTIC
    NLS_LANGUAGE      AMERICAN AMERICAN AMERICAN
    NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET UTF8
    NLS_RDBMS_VERSION 10.2.0.1.0
    NLS_SORT BINARY BINARY_CI BINARY_CI
    NLS_TERRITORY      AMERICA AMERICA AMERICA

    OK. Found out what the problem is. It is obviously the client.
    While using the instant client and setting the parameters (NLS_SORT=BINARY_CI and NLS_COMP=LINGUISTIC) as environment variables does not work correctly, at least not for nvarchar2 fields. The nls_session_parameters show the correct values, but selects with 'like' operators in the where clause do not return case insensitive. Issuing the 'alter session' commands and again setting the nls parameters solves the problem.
    Using the full client installation also works, in case the parameters are set in the registry on windows systems. With the full client it it not necessary to issue the 'alter session' commands again.
    So obviously the problem is instant client and nvarchar2 field related. That's too bad....

  • Case-insensitive -- what's a scriptor to do?

    Here's my delima: (from a tcsh)
    % ls
    file1.txt file2.TXT file3.txt
    % ls file{1,2,3}.TXT
    file1.TXT file2.TXT file3.TXT
    % ls *.TXT

    I've written hundreds of unix (csh,tcsh, perl) scripts since around 1988. I never considered that some day UNIX would ignore case in filenames.
    As you can imagine, I'm going to have to re-write dozens of scripts, now that I have this case-insensitive "feature".
    QUESTION 1: Is there some way to turn off the ignore-case in Apple unix? What are the consequences of such a bold act?
    QUESTION 2: Is there a simple variable, switch, or something, that tells the shell (tcsh) that files are case-sensitive (e.g. *.TXT would match *.txt)? Same request goes for telling filec that is should ignore case.

    Hi Bill,
       I see what you're saying. When the shell passes information to the filesystem, case ceases to matter. However, C Webber is talking about the reverse situation. HFS+ is case-insensitive but it is case-preserving. Whatever case is used in the naming of a file is reproduced faithfully in read operations and shells are by default case-sensitive. C Webber's example was filename globbing. The shell reads the names of the files and looks for matches in a case-sensitive fashion. In that case, case will matter.
       I can see where this would cause problems. You might test for the existence of a file in a case-sensitive fashion, find out that it doesn't, write to the filesystem and blow away a file even though you were careful. You know that something like that happened with the Perl install script, causing it to blow away dozens of its own man pages.
    C. Webber,
       I did a search of the tcsh man page and found nothing suggesting that you can turn off case-sensitivity in globbing. You can do so in completion but it appears that rewrites will be necessary. I encourage you to view this as an opportunity and switch to a more powerful shell. I agree with you that this issue is unique to Mac OS X but every flavor of UNIX has its own issues. We've all had to make changes to migrate scripts. I've certainly had to do that to migrate some of my scripts to Linux and some won't migrate at all. (I use AppleScript in many of my scripts)

  • Case insensitive and SQL server

    We need to be able to do case insensitive searches in OBIEE running against SQL Server 2005 DB.
    I've read the article:
    http://shivabizint.wordpress.com/2009/04/20/case-insensitive-search-using-dashboard-prompt/
    but that is not solving our issue as it converts everything to UPPER and our DB is mixed case. If we enter "a", we need to bring back all records that start with "a" or "A". Can we accomplish this?
    Any help is appreciated,
    C.

  • Question: Do Any Mac/Lightroom users use a case-sensitive filesystem?

    I know most people use the default case-insensitive Mac filesystem. But plugins may have issues in a case-sensitive filesystem (if not explicitly programmed to handle case), which I just learned is an option for Mac users. Just wondering if any Lightroom users actually do it.
    Thanks,
    Rob

    areohbee wrote:
    I'm starting to think that having a case-sensitive filesystem on Mac would only be done by people with very special purposes in mind - e.g. developers who want to test unix command-line apps..., and would "always" be accompanied by case-insensitive volumes for normal Mac use - e.g. Lightroom-data/plugins/photos...
    Ya think?
    Almost certainly.
    As I mentioned before, case-sensitivity is required for, among other things, POSIX compliance, which is of particular interest to a segment of the enterprise and interoperability spaces. Microsoft achieves this by a kernel change (and one of two POSIX-for-Windows licensed libraries) and offering a case-sensitive file system, NTFS. Apple achieves this by offering a way to make HFS+ case-sensitive, with kernel services and a BSD POSIX subsystem that is case-sensitive to the extent the file system is.
    Note that apps that treat filespecs as unique when they differ only in case are not necessarily "poorly coded" as this would depend on context and application. There are some very, very good reasons to do so. In fact, one could make an argument that apps that cannot handle a case-sensitive environment are the poorly coded examples. Blindly assuming the case of a filespec makes it unique, or rewriting an existing filespec to a "corrected" one, are very dangerous assumptions.
    For most of us, the defaults are more natural, and I would hazard a guess that Lr gets little or no QA under such environments. I know of at least one corner-case (exposed here) that would probably break.

  • How do I move my large iTunes collection from a case-sensitive hard drive to a case-insensitive hard drive?

    I currently keep my iTunes media on an external hard drive because it takes up too much space on my machine. I recently discovered that it was formatted as case-sensitive when I bought it, and now months later I'm having issues. When attempting to back up my files on a case-insensitive hard drive, the operation failed due to conflicting file/folder names (Artist and artist are now considered the same file name and one would have to overwrite the other). I now have a large iTunes file collection that is stuck on the case-sensitive hard drive, and I want to save a backup on a case-insensitive drive. 
    Is there a way to identify all cases where multiple files/folders have the same title/album/artist but different spelling so there will be no conflicts? The folder/file names would have to be crossed referenced to highlight any cases where File/fiLe/file  would cause a problem.
    I imagine there is a way to do this using iTunes script or Automator  or a command in terminal or something rather than going through and checking/fixing all the information for thousands of songs by hand. I'm at the limits of my minimal development skills, so any help would be appreciated.

    You should be able to use either "Carbon Copy Cloner" or "SuperDuper" (free for this purpose) to copy your case-sensitive volume to an empty case-insensitive one. Make at least two such copies on different drives. One is not enough to be safe.
    If there are any name conflicts—that is, files in the same folder with names that differ only in case, such as "File" and "file"—then you will either get an error or one of the files won't be copied. You must ensure either that no such conflicts exist, or that the consequences are not important. How you do that is up to you. Unless you went out of your way to create conflicts, they probably don't exist.
    Then erase the source volume in Disk Utility as case-insensitive. This action will remove all data from the volume.
    Restore from one of your backups using the same application you used to create it, or use the "Restore" feature of Disk Utility, which will be faster. Search its built-in help for the term "duplicate" if you need instructions.

  • Time Machine says both of my external hard drives require reformatting to case insensitive. What do I do?

    I have been successfuly using Time Machine to back my iMac  to an external hard drive (via usb) and everything has been fine for the last year. I have been using TM to back up to a HD called Terra LaCie via usb.
    A week ago, my iMac hard drive was full--so I spulrged and bought a 6 TB external hard drive (Western Digital My Book-Thunderbolt). I set up the new Thunderbold HD to use RAID 1 (mirror) and copied most of my iMac hard drive over to the Thunderbolt HD.
    I kept my working photographs (most recent) on my iMac and felt good to know my older photographs are on my new Thunderbolt hard drive.
    For a few days, Time Machine seemed to work fine (backing up my iMac to Terra LaCie HD. I haven't been concerned with backing up the Thunderbolt drive (as I feel that mirroring is same as backing up).
    Yesterday, Time Machine indicated the lastest back-up failed (for the HD called Terra LaCie). Now, when I go into Time Machine, the dialog box indicates the following message:
    "Are you sure you want to erase the backup disk “Terra Lacie”? Erasing will destroy all information on the disk and can’t be undone.
    The disk must be erased before it can be used for Time Machine backups because a disk you are backing up is case sensitive, but the backup disk is not."
    When I open Time Machine to look at my external hard drives (I also have a third usb portable drive); two of the three drives indicate the following:
    "reformat required; case insensitive disk".
    The small, portable hard drive (that I'm also using) doesn't say it needs to be reformated (but my new Thunderbolt and my old usb HD both indicate the same message (above).
    What should I do? I just spent days transferring my photographs from my iMac to my new Thunderbolt. Should I just not use Time Machine any longer and work from my Thunderbolt drive?
    Am I to understand that my iMac suddenly become case sensitive? Sorry if this was too much information about my hard-ware set-up.
    Any help someone can provide me would be greatly appreciated. I suppose I need to understand Time Machine and perhaps my Thunderbolt better.

    Hi BDAqua,
    Bravo, you helped me solve my problem.
    The Case Sensitive Disk was the small portable hard drive that I was using termporarily.
    I just disconnected it and I started TM machine and everything seems to be working just fine.
    Thank you very much!!!!

  • Search for LIFNR case insensitive + range

    Ladies and gentlemen,
    I could use your help. I need to select rows from LFA1 where the name (NAME1) matches a string. It has two difficult points, which I were not able to combine into a single solution, even after all the research I done.
    - I need the search to be case insensitive (I found a partial solution here)
    - I need to combine it with a range table
    So: I need a case insensitive search using range table. Can this be done effectively? Or is there any workaround you could suggest? This is just a minor part of the report about invoices and must not take long.

  • Case Insensitive Search coupled with "LIKE" operator.

    Greetings All, I am running Oracle 11gR1 RAC patchet 25 on Windows X64.
    This db supports and application that requires case insensitive searches.
    Because there are a few entry points into the db I created an "after login" trigger:
    CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER MyAppAfterLogon_TRGR
    AFTER LOGON
    ON DATABASE
    DECLARE
    vDDL VARCHAR2(200) := 'alter session set nls_comp=''linguistic''';
    vDDL2 VARCHAR2(200) := 'alter session set nls_sort=''binary_ci''';
    BEGIN
    IF ((USER = 'MyAppUSER') OR(USER = 'MyAppREPORTINGUSER')) THEN
    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE vDDL;
    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE vDDL2;
    END IF;
    END MyAppAfterLogon_TRGR;
    This ensures that everyone connecting to the DB via any mechanism will automatically have case insensitive searches.
    Now, to optimize the know queries I created the standard index to support normal matching queries:
    select * from MyTable where Name = 'STEVE';
    The index looks like:
    CREATE INDEX "CONTACT_IDX3 ON MYTABLE (NLSSORT("NAME",'nls_sort=''BINARY_CI'''))
    This all works fine, no issues.
    The problem is when I write a query that uses the "LIKE" operator:
    select * from MyTable where Name like 'STEV%';
    I get back the record set I expect. However, my index is not used? I can't for the life of me get this query to use an index.
    The table has about 600,000 rows and I have run gather schema stats.
    Does anyone know of any issues with case insensitive searches and the "LIKE" clause?
    Any and all help would be appreciated.
    L

    I think there is issue with your logon trigger :
    "IF ((USER = 'MyAppUSER') OR(USER = 'MyAppREPORTINGUSER')) THEN"
    it should be :
    IF UPPER(USER) = 'MYAPPUSER' OR UPPER(USER) = 'MYAPPREPORTINGUSER' THEN
    because user name stored in Upper case. Check and try.

  • Case insensitive search in SE16

    Hello Community,
    We have a Z table which contains the field "filename," containing both upper & lowercase alphanumeric values. 
    I was surprised to find that it is not so easy to perform a case insensitive search against those field values using SE16.
    It would be perfect if:
       1. a search in SE16 for `file.txt` will find the results of all records related to the file "file.txt"
       2. a search in SE16 for `FiLe.TxT` will also find all records related to the file "file.txt"
    Can someone help me to accomplish this ?
    Thanks!
    Keith Helfrich

    Hi everyone,
    The goal is to perform a case insensitive search in SE16.  Is there no way to do this ?
    While there are a variety of work-arounds, for example : it is possible to store all the values in the table in UPPERCASE, these work-arounds do not solve our problem. 
    The values in the table need to be stored with the accurate case, exactly as the file is named at the UNIX level.  Since UNIX is also case sensitive, we need to be accurate with the case when storing statistics data about the files. 
    Yet, when searching in SE16, it is problematic because we don't always know the correct case.  For that reason, a case insensitive search is required.
    This seems to be a very basic function that I am surprised SAP doesn't provide...

  • Case insensitive search on subject name to retrieve a certificate from key chain.

    Hi,
    I need to find the client certificate from key chain based on the subject name.
    Currently, I am using attribute kSecLabelItemAttr and providing the subject name to create the attribute list for the API "SecKeychainSearchCreateFromAttributes" which gives the certificate.
    Problem: This certificate search is case sensitive for the subject name.
    Question: Is there a way to do a case insensitive search on a subject name to get a certificate on snow leopard? I found the attribute "kSecMatchCaseInsensitive" which works with key "kSecClassCertificate" in the API "SecItemCopyMatching", but the key kSecClassCertificate is only available for 10.7 and later.

    Any help is highly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I think there is issue with your logon trigger :
    "IF ((USER = 'MyAppUSER') OR(USER = 'MyAppREPORTINGUSER')) THEN"
    it should be :
    IF UPPER(USER) = 'MYAPPUSER' OR UPPER(USER) = 'MYAPPREPORTINGUSER' THEN
    because user name stored in Upper case. Check and try.

  • Make oracle database case insensitive

    Hi All,
    I am using oracle 10g EE as my back end database and front end is in C# .NET. I want to make my oracle database to perform any comparison case insensitively. I searched on the net and found several ways to achieve that
    1. using upper function in procedures - can't afford
    2. function index - can't afford
    3. setting the session parameters
    ALTER SESSION SET NLS_COMP=ANSI;
    ALTER SESSION SET NLS_SORT=BINARY_CI;
    The 3rd looks promising and can save lot of time. I have several question
    1. Is there any way I can set these parameters from .NET?
    2. Is there any way I can set once and will make only my database case insensitive?
    any link, reference is highly appreciated.
    Thanks,

    I want to apply these settings to my oracle database only. It should not affect other oracle database that exist with my db.
    Thanks,It would make sense to issue "ALTER SESSION" statements during logon process from the .NET code instead of changing the entire database - which might affect other users. Judging by the way you have written this, I feel you are referring to a schema rather than database.
    .NET surely has the capability to run "ALTER SESSION" statements.

  • SELECT INTO doing case insensitive query?

    Hi all,
    I'm having a problem with a query acting as if it is case-insensitive when I do a "SELECT table.x INTO variable ...". If I do the same query, without the "INTO variable", I get one result, as expected.
    The query is similar to the following:
    SELECT table_id INTO variable FROM table WHERE table.varchar2column = 'name' AND table.integercolumn = int_variable;
    There is a unique constraint forcing the varchar2column / integercolumn values to be unique.
    If the varchar2column has two entries that differ only in case, a regular select statement returns one result. However, in the stored procedure using the INTO, I get the following error message:
    ORA-01422: exact fetch returns more than requested number of rows
    It does not get that if I remove the entry that differs only in letter-case. This is Oracle 10.2.0.1.0, if that matters.
    I need this query to be case sensitive. I'm not a DB expert, I'm just a developer trying to fix a problem. I attempted to run "ALTER session SET nls_sort = binary" in the stored procedure, but I guess I can't do that...
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    ...When you say, "...AND table.integercolumn = int_variable;" What is the name of int_variable? Does that name match some column name? Could you post the table creats and a complete sample PL/SQL block with your issue?
    One of the things that gets me every once in awhile is having a variable name that matches a column name. In that case the column name is used inside the select statement, not the variable. To avoid that issue, I use v_ for all my variables. (Others have different standard prefixes.)
    I only point this out, because it might be given results that look case insensitive on the varchar2 column, but is really an issue with the integer column matching to a variable:

  • How to compare string in a case-insensitive manner using JavaScript?

    Hello everyone,
    Now I have a javascript to compare checkbox's value with user's input, but now seems it only can compare case-sensitively, does some one know if there is a function in javascript that it can compare string case-insensitively ?
    Here is my script :
    function findOffice(field)
    var name;
    name=prompt("What is the office name?");
    var l = field.length;
    for(var i = 0; i < l; i++)
    if(field.value==name)
    field[i].checked=true;
    field[i].focus();
    field[i].select();
    break;
    <input type="button" name="Find" value="Find And Select" onClick="findOffice(form1) >
    Thanks in advance !
