Ingo, we do sort of. While folks are looking at this issue also take a look at the HFS module for the mac and the issues involved in mounting MAC partitions. "/" is valid in a Mac file name and the low level code does some name mapping to cope with this (Mac uses volume:folder:folder:file). That is done at the fs specific layer however so I think it boils down to case insensitivity issues since the dcache will see pre-mangled names.
