I have a camera CF card that I have been mounting on a Slackware 12.0 system, and all the filenames come up in lower case by default. However, when I mount it on Slackware 13.37 (I'm migrating everything from the machine running 12.0 to the machine running 13.37, now) everything comes up in UPPER CASE. When I use "-o case=lower" on the mount command, it gives its generic error message. With the names in upper case, rsync thinks all the camera images are new, since the file server has everything in lower case.

How do I get this to be mounted with the names in lower case on 13.37 (2.6.38.4 kernel)? Did someone forget something or is this a regression bug?

Never mind. The option was changed to shortname=lower (well, at least for VFAT).

You just allowed me to fix a nagging issue I'd been putting on the back burner for far too long.

Thank you.

And this is a good example why people should mark solved threads as [SOLVED] even if they figure it out for themselves (and post the answer, of course).

I think you'll find the option didn't change - but the default for [V]FAT is documented (in the manpage) as changing at 2.6.32

But I too aplaud the posting of the solution in solved threads.

I did use "case=lower" for it, though that was quite some time ago, and maybe was not on Ubuntu or Debian. I remember doing it on a floppy, too, so that was for plain old FAT, at least.
