Yes, as shipped from the factory, the default "root" file system is
still case-insensitive but the user can change that. There there are
file systems on attached disk images and NFS-mounted file systems, etc
etc. More to the point, it's not a system attribute, rather it's a
file-system attribute and, since a file system mount point can be almost
anywhere in a directory structure, in general, you can't predict where
you're going to encounter insensitive vs -sensitive behavior; it could
vary from directory to directory. But isn't dealing with case-
insensitive behavior just a special case of the general case of what
extract/extractall do about overwriting existing files? I don't see
that addressed in the current docs. |
