Filename vs Folder Linux ext2 Note

by z3n on Sep.15, 2009, under Notes, Tips & Hints

No, you can’t have a filename and a folder with the same name on the same folder.

For example:

/path/to/happy

/path/to/happy/

Will not work. If happy is a regular file and you try to create a folder called happy (and vice-versa) at ‘/path/to’ you will fail.

Note that this amazingly works on windows.
