  1.  File name representation

For Linux file systems (correct me if I am wrong here), they all store
the file name as-is. The question here is what happens on
Windows-based file systems (e.g. NTFS) that are being read on Linux?

Generally, Linux tries to follow the conventions of the filesystem, so 
it's generally case-preserving and case-sensitive (but not normalizing in 
any way - the case sensitivity is literally a upcase lookup table, so you 
do "upcase(c1) == upcase(c2)" for each UCS-2 character, no combining or 
decomposition).
