This is the output for L: drive, which is not a physical but logical

a physical device (format a spare USB stick EXFAT through Windows):
$ /usr/lib/csih/getVolInfo.exe /cygdrive/l
...
Flags : 6
FILE_CASE_SENSITIVE_SEARCH : FALSE
FILE_CASE_PRESERVED_NAMES : TRUE
FILE_UNICODE_ON_DISK : TRUE

But I have to admit that the "con" of losing case-preservation is a
weighty one. I have discussed in the (very distant) past having issues
with operating on Linux kernel source.

According to the above, EXFAT does not have a "con" of losing
case-preservation. It *is* case-insensitive just like NTFS.
Perhaps you are creating files on linux on ex-fat and you have
the linux driver setup to be case sensitive?
