Scenario: USB stick formatted with as FAT32 for wind0ze compatibility, but when you mount it on linux any file or directory created with an entirely uppercase name appears as lowercase. Or maybe everything appears as lowercase.
Here's some magic for /etc/fstab to mount a volume labelled FOO on /mnt/foo with mixed-case support.
- enter this all on one line, the "\ " are just for (in)convenience here.
LABEL=FOO /mnt/foo vfat \
nodev,exec,noauto,user,users,umask=000,gid=1000,uid=1000,\
shortname=win95,codepage=850,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0
This isn't specific to USB sticks, but that's where I commonly hit the problem.
