Dear maintainers


Currently, mounting an EXT4-formatted volume with the case-insensitivity feature
is impossible since CONFIG_UNICODE is not enabled in the kernel configuration.

Please consider enabling it.

I'm leaving the severity at default, since the missing feature isn't just
convenience, but actually has negative implications when mounting file systems.

If that is any argument, Ubuntu 21.04 enables the feature, too.

My best guess is that the chance of regressions is very low.



Best regards



Mihai Moldovan
