Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.12-6

The vfat driver in 2.6.12 appears to include a regression compared with
earlier versions.  VFAT is a case-insensitive filesystem, but with this
kernel filenames are not handled in a case-insensitive manner:

$ cd /media/usb0/
$ touch foo
$ ls -l foo
-rw-------  1 vorlon vorlon 0 2005-10-08 03:25 foo
$ touch fOo
touch: cannot touch `fOo': File exists
$ cat fOo
cat fOo: No such file or directory
$ rm foo
$ touch FOO
$ ls FOO
ls: FOO: No such file or directory
$ ls foo
foo
$ touch foo_not_8.3.txt
$ touch fOO_not_8.3.txt
$ ls -l f*txt
-rw-------  1 vorlon vorlon 0 2005-10-08 03:28 foo_not_8.3.txt
-rw-------  1 vorlon vorlon 0 2005-10-08 03:28 fOO_not_8.3.txt
$

This poses a significant compatibility problem when sharing vfat volumes
between Debian and Windows (which, y'know, is the whole point).

Cheers,

Hi,
your bug has been filed against the "linux-2.6" source package and was filed for
a kernel older than the recently released Debian 7.0 / Wheezy with a severity
less than important.

We don't have the ressources to reproduce the complete backlog of all older kernel
bugs, so we're closing this bug for now. If you can reproduce the bug with Debian Wheezy
or a more recent kernel from testing or unstable, please reopen the bug by sending
a mail to control@bugs.debian.org with the following three commands included in the
mail:

reopen BUGNUMBER
reassign BUGNUMBER src:linux
thanks

Cheers,
        Moritz
