>> ..."or operation on FAT32 was changed by Windows updates."
Starting to look exactly like that. On Windows 7 there is no problem. On earlier W10 machines in this office there is no problem. My machine underwent a massive (time-consuming) update on or around 13-FEB to Microsoft Windows Version 1709 Build 16299.248] from the previous Microsoft Windows Version 1703 Build 15063.936] and the troubles began then: ~> touch TryThis.TxT ~> ls T* TryThis.TxT ~> dos2unix TryThis.TxT dos2unix: converting file TryThis.TxT to Unix format... ~> ls T* TRYTHIS.TXT This on a FAT32 stick. (Can anybody confirm this behaviour?) So I'm guessing Windows has revised its default mount shortname syntax for VFAT. Is there a way I can climb in and alter / override that, does anybody know?
