[lug] vfat case sensitivity

[Louis Viljoen (IDH)]

Hi

Did you manage to get the all uppercase directory to display correctly in linux. If you did can you please tell me how.
I need a directory WEB-INF on my vfat partition which linux keeps on changing to web-inf.

>/From man mount under the fat entry
/

       case=lower / case=asis
              Convert  all  files  names  to lower case, or leave
              them.  (Default: case=lower.)



You probably also want to change the trailing 1 1 on your vfat
filesystem to be 1 2.  Otherwise the windows partition is thought of as
a root filesystem.
