No, it isn't. Did you read the User's Guide? http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-specialnames.html#pathnames-casesensitive > Perhaps you are creating files on linux on ex-fat and you have > the linux driver setup to be case sensitive? You didn't read Shaddy's OP. He was asking to make ExFAT filenames case sensitive *within* Cygwin by adding WCHAR trickery to Cygwin. That would be possible, of course, as long as the FS is case preserving. It's just pretty laborious.
