Hi Jan, > Right. That in itself is fine, but I'd still like to have readdir > return lowercase names here then. you are in luck! It just so happens that this is what happens when we use the patch that Hirofumi and I just agreed on (ie. the case handling part of my patch from May, combined with the current patch). I include it below. Can you please test it? It should be applied on top of the previous patch. Note that you will not need to specify shortname=winnt. In fact, if you don't specify any special options and let the kernel default then you will get the behaviour you just described. Hirofumi-san, can you have a look at this too and see if it is how you want to handle it? I built the patch against your fatfs-2.6 tree.
