XFS may support case-insensitivity soon(ish) & lufs does it now

[Russell G. Howe]

I noticed on the linux-xfs list an announcement by Steve Lord where he
listed a few things which might make it into XFS in the next few months:

http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/mail_archive/200305/msg00233.html

One of them, "Mixed case support in XFS (for Samba)" presumably means
case-insensitive filenames/directories. Keith Owens also mentioned the
lufs (Linux userland fs) project at http://lufs.sf.net/

This apparently allows for case-insensitive filesystems by way of a
userspace wrapper. For anyone who might be having trouble with
case-sensitive UNIX filesystems, these might be worth considering.

Note that I haven't tried lufs, and the XFS stuff hasn't yet been
released, but maybe the information is useful to someone.
