  1. Never heard of casefolding, sounds cool. I'll look into testing that some time! 

    I prefered not to use NTFS and instead use JFS with OS/2 compatibility mode turned on making it case-insensitive. I've never had an issue with needing it to be case-sensitive like step 3 indicates may be an issue, but I've not done extensive testing. If anyone else prefers this option, simply install jfsutils instead of ntfs-3g replace the ntfs commands in steps 2 and 3 with:

    mkfs.jfs -O ee_modbox.img
    mount ee_modbox.img /mnt/modbox/

    and the fstab line in step 6 with 

    /path/to/ee_modbox.img   /mnt/modbox      jfs             rw,relatime     0 0

    Like I said, I've not encountered any problems using it this way, but you might. On the down side, unlike the ntfs filesystem there is no way to mount it case-sensitive if that's actually ever needed. On the plus side (depending on how you feel about kernel mode fs vs fuse..), JFS is implement in the kernel and doesn't require fuse.

    Options are great, and this is the one I use.
