I just realized - whatever FS we use, we have to be careful. Most
DOS programs expect filenames to be uppercase, and many are written
so that filenames are all treated that way - if we introduce a
case-sensitive fs, we may BREAK many programs, however, as files may
be installed in varied case (some lower, some upper, etc. )
How can this problem be avoided? Should we disable case sensitivity
in our fs? We are trying to maintain compatibility with dos
software, after all... :)
Just a quick thought.
