Hi Benjamin As pointed out by others, this breaks ABI. It can be very hard to change anything in include/uapi/linux without some user space code breaking. Also, the use case of case-insensitive filesystem is not particularly relevant today, how many are the in active use now? There might be a stronger argument for case magic filesystems, but i would argue the magic is broken, which is not really Linux's problem. Andrew --- pw-bot: cr
