Ahh, oddly enough, it does exactly the same on HFS+, but *not* UFS, which is
why I hadn't noticed it yet, since all of my things I mirror are on my UFS
partition, just in case they have case-colliding names.

I'm trying to get rid of my UFS partition because it's a pain in the rear,
so I was hoping to upgrade to ZFS.  Hence, the query.

Anyone know if 'case sensitive' HFS+ does name mangling?  Perhaps ZFS can
also be formed as case sensitive.

I believe case-sensitive HFS+ also mangles names.

I for one am pretty disappointed that Apple has chosen to bring across  
this undesirable behaviour from their legacy file system to a  
completely new one, when this would have been a perfect opportunity  
for them to break with the bad design decisions of the past. It's  
still pre-release, of course, so I guess there's still hope that their  
final version might not preserve this flaw.
