I have discovered a problem with the Linux 2.4.0 VFAT filesystem. Short names that have mixed case do not retain their case on the VFAT filesystem. This has mostly worked in the past on 2.1.x, 2.2.x, 2.3.x kernels. I am currently testing 2.4.0-test8-pre1. The filsystem was mounted with the following options: 'uid=500,gid=250,umask=000,quiet'. I have code page 437 and ISO 8859-1 built into the kernel with all other character sets available as modules. I have attached a BASH script that when run on a VFAT mounted filesystem fails. The last test case that the script runs fails on ALL versions of Linux that I have tested: 2.1.126, 2.2.16, 2.3.99-pre6 thru 2.4.0-test8-pre1.
