Subject: Optional case-insensitivity
Date: Fri, 28 Aug 2020 15:43:55 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAEg-Je_Mhx2QewCvFbwcV5oVHHa9jkdPcpkFZN8YR_fktCHSCQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hey,
So I saw today on LWN an article about ext4 gaining the ability to do
per file/folder case-insensitivity[1]. I can see some value in this
property existing for subvolume/folder/file level for Btrfs for things
like Wine and Darling, which could take advantage of this to help
support Windows and macOS applications that expect insensitivity to
work properly. In particular, I'm looking at how games are glitchy
with case sensitivity because it's rarely tested (both Windows and
macOS are case-insensitive by default).
Has anyone looked at what it would take to do this in Btrfs too?
