[Yanel-dev] Potential pitfall on Mac OS X with case sensitivity

[Mehmet Birgi]

Hi all Mac users

I have just learned (the hard way) that the HFS+ (aka Mac OS Extended)
filesystem used by most Mac OS X installations might or might not be
case sensitive (though it is always case preserving). This depends on
the option chosen when creating the partition. Apparently this is for
backwards compatibility reasons, but it might cause unexpected
problems when deploying to case sensitive systems. I also haven't
found a proper way to check this property, except by trial. So check
yours and be aware!

Cheers
