Yes, that works. I'm impressed that even old mounts handle this correctly.

If I try something like:
--- linux.18p14/fs/fat/inode.c Sun Oct 1 12:20:41 2000 +++ linux.18p14/fs/fat/inode.c.new Mon Oct 2 08:35:02 2000 @@ -216,7 +216,7 @@ opts->quiet = opts->sys_immutable = opts->dotsOK = opts->showexec = 0; opts->codepage = 0; opts->utf8 = 0; - opts->small_letter = 0; + opts->small_letter = 1; opts->iocharset = NULL; *debug = *fat = 0;
then msdos mounts work as they used to but vfat mounts are also affected. I suspect someone didn't consider all the possibilities. In any event, breaking long-standing behavior (at least as far back as 1.2 kernels) seems like a bad idea.
Thanks.
