I need a file system in Linux which is not case sensitive. I tried
JFS,
but it keeps crashing, so looking for something more stable.
Idea is that ABC.txt should be same as abc.txt ad AbC.txt.
Does anyone know something reliable case insensitive file system that
can be deployed at the enterprise level?
Sorry, but all Unix is, by definition (AFAIK) case sensitive. Maybe
there's
some odd shell that would work for you, but I don't know of it.

I've got it, someone could write a WinDoze shell for Unix!

Wel, this is not the solution to the original poster's problem (and is
probably off-topic for the list), but your definition is wrong. The
default HFS+ filesystem in Mac OS X, which has (arguably) sold more
copies of a Unix-based operating system then any other in the history
of Unix, is not case-sensitive:
