It turned out that most of the removed code was dead anyway and it took just a few lines of code to restore support for case-insensitive filesystems. Filesystems with mixed case sensitivity behave exactly the same as case-sensitive filesystem as it has always been the case on FreeBSD. Anyway the big change has just been committed: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/303763 Please test away. Another note is that the filesystem name cache is now disabled for case insensitive filesystems and filesystems with normalization other than none. That may hurt the lookup performance, but should ensure correctness of operations. -- Andriy Gapon
