Public bug reported:

When you create a file or folder on a vfat mounted partition, which is
all in capitals, the filename is automatically converted to lower case.

Try creating a all-capital file or folder on a vfat partition and press
refresh in nautilus, notice it then becomes lower case.

Any existing all-capital files and folders, that you may have created on
the FAT32 partition prior to booting Ubuntu also shown in lower case.

This issue does not occur when using for example NTFS-3G on NTFS
partitions instead.

For some of my projects, I need all-capital filesnames, for example a
Java servlet's source code, which I might have stored on a FAT32
partition shared between Windows and Linux, which uses the folders "WEB-
INF" and "META-INF". These folders are currently converted to lower
case, which is not what I would expect to happen.
