[mdlug] NTFS

[Harry Burleson]

> 57  While NTFS itself supports case sensitivity, the Win32 environment
> subsystem cannot create files whose names differ only by case for
> compatibility reasons. When a file is opened for writing, if there is any
> existing file whose name is a case-insensitive match for the new file, the
> existing file is truncated and opened for writing instead of a new file with a
> different name being created. Other subsystems like e. g. Services for Unix,
> that operate directly above the kernel and not on top of Win32 can have
> case-sensitivity.
