Linux Recently I stumbled across a very nice article, written by Torsten Scheck, published on pro-linux.de, a German Linux site. This article proved to be so helpful to me that I decided it would be worthwhile to translate it into English and republish it. Comments of the translator will be added in italics. I hope a lot of people will find this little gem as useful as I did...

re: vfat

I saw no mention of my pet gripe with working with vfat from Linux:

touch testfile.txt
mv testfile.txt TESTFILE.TXT
mv: `testfile.txt' and `TESTFILE.TXT' are the same file

It may sound stupid but I find it significant in some circumstances. It may seem shortname=mixed may solve some of my problems but the above error is still happening. Unless anyone can suggest a way around this I will accept it as a vfat limitation.
