Rolf;
I think you should check whether reformatting is really necessary.
My understanding is that Disk Utility will allow repartitioning and
one can choose a disk format at the time that a new partition is
created.
Not clear to me what you're saying here. Are you suggesting that I
(could) partition my
hard drive into a chunk containing the current file system and a new
chunk (with
nothing --- yet --- written on it)? And that I could choose a disk
format for
the new chunk such that the file system would be case-sensitive there?
But then I'd get case sensitivity only when working with files stored
in the new
chunk, is it not so?
Sounds dangerous to me, anyhow!
I don't have much of an understanding of file systems and
partitioning, I'm afraid.
cheers,
Rolf
