Mike,

This may be a stupid question, but where did you come up with your
answer? I have manned fstab and mount, but see no mention of case,
joliet, etc in there or on any other resource that google points me to
when searching for fstab.

I am not doubting you- rather I am trying to build my arsenal of
resources. I do not plan on getting a degree in computer science, so I
therefore need to know from where to get answers without constantly
nagging the list with newbie questions.

In any case, I am currently having fstab related trouble, that I am
trying to sort out on my own (with Hebrew filenames on a FAT32
partition). So any fstab-related resource would be welcome.
