To create a case-folded directory: # mke2fs -Fq -t ext4 -O casefold /dev/vdc # mount /dev/vdc /vdc # mkdir /vdc/casefold # chattr +F /vdc/casefold # cp /etc/issue /vdc/casefold/MaDNeSS # cat /vdc/casefold/madness Then export the directory and mount it via NFS, and let us know how it goes. I'm currently on a cruise ship so it's a bit harder for me to do the experiment myself. :-) - Ted
