vfat does not allow all capital filenames

[Rob van der Linde]

When you create a file or folder on a vfat mounted partition, which is all in capitals, the filename is automatically converted to lower case.

Try creating a all-capital file or folder on a vfat partition and press refresh in nautilus, notice it then becomes lower case.

Any existing all-capital files and folders, that you may have created on the FAT32 partition prior to booting Ubuntu also shown in lower case.

This issue does not occur when using for example NTFS-3G on NTFS partitions instead.

For some of my projects, I need all-capital filesnames, for example a Java servlet's source code, which I might have stored on a FAT32 partition shared between Windows and Linux, which uses the folders "WEB-INF" and "META-INF". These folders are currently converted to lower case, which is not what I would expect to happen.

Thank you for your bug, that's a vfat limitation and not a bug
