Re: Which FAT mount options to change the case of filenames?

So anyway, it was like, 09:54 CEST Apr 27 2007, you know? Oh, and, yeah,
Jef Driesen was all like, "Dude,

When I try to change the case of a file on a fat32 partition, I get an
error:

$ touch ABC
$ mv ABC abc
mv: 'ABC' and 'abc' are the same file

The files in my image collection do not have a consistent case
now. I have variations like "IMG_xxxx.JPG", "IMG_xxxx.jpg" and
"img_xxxx.jpg" (the numbers are unique) and I want to have only one
naming scheme.

Perhaps try 'mv IMG_xxxx.JPG foo.jpg && mv foo.jpg img_xxxx.jpg'.

Or maybe the 'rename' command instead of 'mv' in your example above.
