The last days I tried to move the IBM Connections datastore (or “shared data” folder) from a single-node Linux system to a Microsoft Windows file server.
The Connections data files are stored in a bunch of folders and sub-folders, managed by the associated applications. Linux filesystems like EXT3 support case-sensitive names. Connections Blogs and other applications create folders with case-sensitive names on this filesystem type to structure the data.
NTFS filesystem which is used on Windows file server does not support case-sensitive file and folder names. As a result it’s not possible to copy Connections data from Linux to Windows filesystem.
This might be annoying in some situations, especially because some of the applications are managing data without braking cross-platform compatibility. The Connections Files application for example stores it’s data in folders with numerical names.
