Upper-case only filenames converted to lower-case

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create or copy any file. Make sure you choose an upper-case only destination 
filename (e.g. DELETE.ME)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
When you list the destinstion directory ("ls -l"), it will show "delete.me" 
instead of "DELETE.ME". The command "ls DELETE.ME" will show "DELETE.ME", 
though. If you choose a mixed-case destination filename, it will stay unchanged 
(e.g. dELETE.ME). Doing string operation in JAVA on the filenames, case 
sensitivity will prevent detecting uppercase-only filenames.

Did previous version of UrukDroid did it right? Does it work on Archos
default OS correctly? Yes, on Archos default OS it works correcty.

What version of UrukDroid are you using? What version of Archos device?
Urukdroid 1.0

Please provide any additional information below.

On what kind of filesystem you made tests? Could you show part of shell screen 
with unproper results?

I used adb shell to check on the filenames. This problem showed up on my archos 
7it with Urukdroid running. I checked with my other dev devices archos 7HTv2, 
arnova 7 and archos 10it, with either original or custom firmware (no uruk) 
installed. No problem there. In fact, the issue popped up when I tried my 
commercial app on urukdroid for the first time. I have to admit hat i didn't 
crosscheck using the original archos firmware on the 7it, but with all my other 
archos non-uruk devices. So this problem is either inherted from archos 7it 
firmware or its uruk specific. 
I use  update files in my app which happen to have names in upper-case only. 
When looking for the files in my java app, I use the upper-case name taken from 
final static strings for comparison. On the 7it uruk, the files could not be 
found because of case-sensitivity.
Please note that my app programmatically copies the files to the device from 
external sd-card to internal memory. The same app, using the same sd-card on 
any other android device i could get hold of worked just fine. I will provide 
screenshot of my adb session on Tuesday

You can copy/paste from adb - it does not have to be screenshot.
Anyway - I can't reproduce any of this issues. That's why I've asked on what 
filesystem did you check this behaviour. FAT is case insensitive, EXT4 (that is 
rootfs and datafs) are case sensitive. I'm kind of sceptic on what you are 
saying since you mentioned that "ls" and "ls -l" give different results - this 
is quite impossible.

See my adb shell session screenshot attached. It also includes results of the 
mount command.

To be honest - it's quite normal for me. This is FAT partition. There are some 
translation made so case insensitive filesystems (like fat) will work on Unix 
way, where everything is case sensitive. That's why there are such a strange 
"things" going on. But I expect the same happens on stock FW. You could 
probably change some mount parameters (to change a bit this behaviour), like 
"check", "conv" options, but I think it's normal :).
I close "the bug" - but if you still think there is something wrong, fell free 
to reopen it.
