According to the above, EXFAT does not have a "con" of losing case-preservation. It *is* case-insensitive just like NTFS. Perhaps you are creating files on linux on ex-fat and you have the linux driver setup to be case sensitive? -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
