On Linux (at least), a particular filesystem (mount point) may be FAT, VFAT or NTFS (currently read-only, but read-write may eventually be available), or it may be an SMB share on a Windows server, or an NCP share on a Novell server. On Windows, you can have SMB, NCP and NFS shares, as well as ISO-9660 and Linux ext2 filesystems (currently read-only), although I suspect that these all need to be coerced into looking like a Windows filesystem. If you want to know whether a filesystem is case sensitive, or allows particular characters in a filename, I suspect that the only reliable solution is to try it and see. -- Glynn Clements <glynn(a)sensei.co.uk&gt;
