I've got a jump drive that came formatted with a vfat (I think). Didn't look, just plugged it in, mounted it, everything fine.

Except... when creating files, it seems to convert parts of filenames to lowercase, according to rules I have not been able to figure out.

mount says:
/dev/sda1 on /mnt/jump/a type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,user=me)

Can someone point me to a place to read up on this? I've noticed this for years, of course, but never cared about it before.

Reformatting as an ext2 (3, etc) isn't an option because I need to interact with Windoze machines.
thanks!
Judah
