Description Phil Leigh 2009-05-05 03:29:50 UTC
when TinySC mounts a USB drive in FAT32 format, any folder names that only contain upper case letters (e.g. "ABBA", "UFO") are changed to lower case (abba, ufo) which means they are not sorted properly.
I believe that the vfat mount parameters need to include "shortname=mixed" to fix this.

Andy, maybe yours?
Comment 2 Andy Grundman 2009-05-11 15:00:47 UTC
OK I will look at it.  I believe we need to hack up a special vfat rule for udev, something like what's on this page:

Change default vfat mode from shortname=lower to shortname=mixed

This kernel patch changes the default vfat mount mode from shortname=lower to shortname=mixed. I suspect that's easier than mucking around with udev. :)
