Umm, that's a yes :)
Ahem, you snipped the context precending that question!
Surely you can't switch, unless the case-insensitive mkfs option was
used initially...? (unlike, say attr2, which can be enabled on-the-fly
with a mount option, on existing attr1 filesystems).
You mkfs with unicode/utf8, ci is indeed a mount option which can be turned
on and off on the fly. True, you can't just do it on any existing
filesystem (except the undocumented/unrecommended xfs_db/xfs_repair
method).
