Re: [PATCH 0/2] Native case-insensitive file-system support on Mac OS
I've been running with this set for... it's been so long, I can't remember! What's preventing it from being committed? (I know it's not the impending release, because otherwise the Patch list would say they're "Deferred".) Chip

You certainly don't want to enumerate mount points on every file lookup. Also the non case-preserving handling looks quite suspicious (and IMO useless), and you have to fix the FIXMEs. Plus there's no reason to make this Mac OS specific. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.org

Since it's relevant I'll mention the CIOPFS (case-insensitive on purpose) FUSE module that was made a while back. It works fine as far as I can tell (and I believe Mac supports FUSE), it's just waiting for some glue code to be actually used with a Wine installation. Wine still needs to be made aware when it's on CIOPFS though (similar to how it behaves on fat32 partitions) Thanks, Scott Ritchie

Besides, since HFS+ is case-insensitive anyway, why bother? it's just waiting for some glue code to be actually used with a Wine installation.
Wine still needs to be made aware when it's on CIOPFS though (similar to how it behaves on fat32 partitions) That's kinda difficult on Linux. It's easy enough to tell if you're on a FUSE FS (statfs(2) will tell you that), but it's somewhat tedious to tell exactly which FUSE FS it is (AFAIK, the only way to tell is to read the mount table).

Well we could do something blunt like have CIOPFS deliberately make a "hey I'm case insensitive file" that Wine could look for. Thanks, Scott Ritchie
