From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2 i686) When I try to make a directory (or a file) with an all uppercase name, like "RPMS", instead it makes one with an all lowercase name, like "rpms". Mixed uppercase/lowercase names work ok. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. mkdir RPMS 2. ls Actual Results: rpms Expected Results: RPMS
This problem only occurs with 8.3 filenames. I can create a file named "FOOBARABC" but not "FOOBARAB" (it gets "foobarab").
VFAT by default emulates Win9X behavior. If you want case-preserving, use a parameter like this: modprobe vfat posix this should preserve case
Using the posix option doesn't make the problem go away. The behaviour is exactly the same (except not being able to refer to "FoO" as "foo" anymore, of course).
