Any FAT or NTFS (in fact, all DOS filesystems) are case insensitive. Not a bug, that's the definition of the filesystems.


Yes, I understand Fat is case insensitive. As Matthew suggested, I want the upper case file names showing in uppper case.

The FAT translation is all lower case. Sorry. There are three levels of "pickyness" as to equivalency, but uppercase characters are displayed in lower case AFAIK. See the "Mount options for fat" in the mount(8) manpage. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens vitalstream com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - He who laughs last thinks slowest. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
