It's described in the manual. You can use uid, gid and the mask options 
to set the default permissions which will be __checked__ but can't be 
__modified__ since no Win <-> Linux user mapping, and no permission 
modification is implemented.

Of course, Linux is case-sensitive.

It's optional. It can be exported and remounted case-insensitive via e.g. 
samba and cifs.

Thank you for the feedbacks,
