Once upon a time, I had an army of USB flash drives. Today, I have a cemetery filled with fallen soldiers. Their cause of death remains a mystery, but I wonder if it had anything to do with the fact that they were mounted case-sensitive.
I've noticed that placing the following line in my /etc/fstab file:
Code: Select all
/dev/sda1 /media/sda1 auto rw,user,noauto,exec 0 0
Code: Select all
mkdir /media/sda1
Code: Select all
[ Thu 13-Aug-2009 21.11 XXXX ] ~ $ mount /dev/sda1
[ Thu 13-Aug-2009 21.11 XXXX ] ~ $ mount
...
/dev/sda1 on /media/sda1 type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=XXXX)
[ Thu 13-Aug-2009 21.11 XXXX ] ~ $
[ Thu 13-Aug-2009 21.11 XXXX ] ~ $ cd /media/sda1
[ Thu 13-Aug-2009 21.11 XXXX ] sda1 $
[ Thu 13-Aug-2009 21.11 XXXX ] sda1 $ echo hello > hello.txt
[ Thu 13-Aug-2009 21.11 XXXX ] sda1 $ echo hello > Hello.txt
bash: Hello.txt: File exists
[ Thu 13-Aug-2009 21.11 XXXX ] sda1 $
[ Thu 13-Aug-2009 21.11 XXXX ] sda1 $ ls -l
total 4
-rwxr-xr-x 1 XXXX XXXX 6 2009-08-13 21:11 hello.txt
[ Thu 13-Aug-2009 21.12 XXXX ] sda1 $
Enjoy!
