Subject: [f2fs-dev] [PATCH v14 03/15] fat: Implement fileattr_get for case sensitivity
Date: Thu, 07 May 2026 04:52:56 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260507-case-sensitivity-v14-3-e62cc8200435@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260507-case-sensitivity-v14-0-e62cc8200435@oracle.com>
From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>
Report FAT's case sensitivity behavior via the FS_XFLAG_CASEFOLD
and FS_XFLAG_CASENONPRESERVING flags. FAT filesystems are
case-insensitive by default.
MSDOS supports a 'nocase' mount option that enables case-sensitive
behavior; check this option when reporting case sensitivity.
VFAT long filename entries preserve case; without VFAT, only
uppercased 8.3 short names are stored. MSDOS with 'nocase' also
preserves case since the name-formatting code skips upcasing when
'nocase' is set. Check both options when reporting case preservation.
