Is it in active development or it has been dropped?
Or you know a case-insensitive filesystem for linux with journaling?

Really, I cant see a good reason for porting Microsoft
"case insensitive filenames bug" into a really good
filesystem.
Have you any other reason for such a change ?
Olaf, could I suggest you something:
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/MyISOImages/image01.img
losetup /dev/loop0 /MyISOImages/image01.img
mkdir /mnt/myarch01
mount /dev/loop0 /mnt/myarch01
Another way is to copy files to a xfs, rename all
files and directories to a smallcase letters.
Then write a module with "hook" for the open()
call. This call should work in two steps:
call open.original without case change, if success return
if failed again call open() with case changed to small.
Should be quick and simple and most important
doesent require change in a big well tuned code.
