When mounting explicitly with shortname=mixed, this patch changes it to shortname=winnt, which breaks compatibility when creating files on Linux and reading on Windows 95/98/ME and devices with equivalent FAT implementation. I think it's ok to break that compatibility if dualnames is off, because that's unfortunately the best available compromise. But if shortname=mixed is explicitly requested, it can mean (and does in some cases I've seen) that there's a reason long names are required for lower-case 8.3 names. -- Jamie -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
