Hi,
I've got a Win98SE peer to peer network that each map a drive
to a FAT32 HDD in my Linux box. It all works great apart from
some odd things with filename & directory case.

If I have a directory called "TEST" for example and I try to change it
to "test" or Test" from the Windows machines, it just stays the same
as it was. Same goes for filenames as well. Most of the time this does
not make any difference but I need the case to be correct for the html
data I have there for my web site. Even if I rename the offending file or
directory to something else then back to what I want it still goes back
to what it was originally! Is this normal? Any way around it?
Regards...
