Subject: [9fans] FAT32 question
Date: Wed, 27 Mar 2013 08:24:57 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAE9W7-gYJmOavr2RGGam=QVA8U6d3xELRNvLG_jqMtSG70nRQQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I'm mounting a FAT32 flashdrive on a RPi.  However, it seems that some
sort of legacy 8.3 filename situation is existing.  For instance, if I
have a directory containing x.c and a23456789.c that the former is
taken as X.C and the latter is taken as shown.  Therefore, to compile
x.c is not possible.  So for instance, echo *.c produces a different
result than echo *.C.  I tried mv'ing the problem files and then back
but same results.

I do believe that historically there was some sort of interpretations
such as this in the evolution from FAT to FAT32, but not sure it
should be so in current version, or, at least, other operating systems
don't take this interpretation.  Is there an option or something I'm
missing?  How do I get to process x.c as x.c and not X.C.
