Bug#483781: FAT: utf8 is not a recommended IO charset for FAT filesystems, filesystem will be case sensitive!
Package: linux-image-2.6.25-2-686
Version: 2.6.25-4
Severity: wishlist
One sees in dmesg
FAT: utf8 is not a recommended IO charset for FAT filesystems,
filesystem will be case sensitive!
even
# env - LC_ALL=C mount /fat
won't turn it off. How can one turn off the warning?
Anyway, the file system is not as sensitive as one thinks anyway:
$ touch K k
touch: cannot touch `k': File exists
$ mount
/dev/sdb1 on /mnt/usb/cf type vfat (rw,shortname=mixed,..)
$ touch Kk KK
$ touch bb BB
$ find -type f -mmin -11 -ls
