NTFS is not "case-insensitive, case-preserving" as has been crowed about here forever. I recently was fooling around and found that I could mount NTFS under linux and create files with names that differed only in case. Even windows explorer would still show those files in a listing. So I decided to do a little digging, and this pops up: http://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/100625 <quote> Filenames are Case Sensitive on NTFS Volumes Collapse imageSUMMARY As part of the requirements for POSIX compliance, the Windows NT File System (NTFS) provides a case-sensitive file and directory naming convention. Even though NTFS and the POSIX subsystem each handle case-sensitivity well, 16-bit Windows-based, MS-DOS-based, OS/2-based, and Win32-based applications do not. Collapse imageMORE INFORMATION In NTFS, you can create unique file names, stored in the same directory, that differ only in case. For example, the following filenames can coexist in one directory on an NTFS volume: CASE.TXT case.txt case.TXT ... </quote> Did not know that. :)
