- barrkel 12y agoNTFS is case sensitive. The Win32 layer presents NTFS as case preserving, but the NT POSIX layer (since renamed to SFU), as well as Cygwin, use NTFS's case sensitivity.
- ygra 12y agoMore to the point, the NTFS API can be both. And you can access that from Win32 code as well. There's also a registry flag to make NTFS case-sensitive by default.
