[lug] Capitalization of mounted drives?

[Elyse M. Grasso]

I have a java directory tree containing about 10,000 files on a USB thumb 
drive. 

When I mount the drive on Linux, many, but not all, of the directories and 
files lose their capitalization. On windows they are fine. Is there an 
incantation I can use in /etc/fstab that will keep this from happening?

It looks like names that are all caps get lowercased, and names that have a 
completely capitalized section get lowercased (FTP.jar goes to ftp.jar, which 
makes things that depend on it really unhappy) but names with a mix of cases 
before the dot seem to stay unchanged.
