Use a sane filesystem which is thus case-sensitive - case-insensitive
filesystems are broken by design (e.g. think of upper case/lower case
situation for non-ASCII-7bit clean languages like German which has
lower case ä,ö,ü and the upper case equivalents Ä,Ö,Ü including different
encodings - no you don't want more than 1 encoding on a computer but then
reality kicks in - and that in a filesystem driver in a kernel ....).

Kind regards,
