cant rename directories
 
i was trying to rename a directoy makeing it lowercase useing mv like this
mv Testing testing
but then it gave me an error saying i cannot move testing into a subdirectory of itself, is this because i am trying to do that on a fat32 partition? also are there any other ways of renameing files that might work?

Yes exactly... To do that on a vfat partition, you need to mount it with the "posix" option. See man mount for more details ;)
