It's been a while and don't remember the specifics, but when we implemented a POSIX-compliant filesystem at Maginatics (acq. by EMC), we used MySQL (Percona actually) to store the FS logic (inode numbers, filenames, etc) and case sensitivity was one of the FS features. Maybe Percona supports it? I do remember (at least at that time) that full utf-8 support was poor though.
- aloukissas 6y agoBtw, don't get me started about case-sensitive file systems - Windows got it right (case-preserving, but case-insensitive). Why should both /home/ellen/Music and /home/ellen/music exist? :)
- viraptor 6y agoBecause once you go there, you have to answer questions which are not as easy. Does M match m? Does i match ı? Does a match あ? Does あ match ア? Does m match 𝓂? What happens when they need to coexist?
- aloukissas 6y agoBut they're different! I see where you're coming from though (unfortunately I know all these examples too well..).
