Hi Steve, Unfortunately I am unable to reproduce this problem with current sid using linux-image-2.6.12-1-686-smp 2.6.12-10 I created a partition using: $ dd bs=1024 count=1024 if=/dev/zero > /tmp/vfat.img $ mkdosfs /tmp/vfat.img $ mount -o loop /tmp/vfat.img /mnt/tmp/ $ mount [snip] /tmp/vfat.img on /mnt/tmp type vfat (rw,loop=/dev/loop0) And then ran the tests you list above, and they all worked the way I would expect on a case insensitive file system, that is rather differently to what you have above. Can you cook up a test case that breaks? Perhaps my mkdosfs is crating something that works, where as you have a fs created slightly differently? -- Horms -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
