The journalling is no problem, but HFS is. I'm no Macxpert but if I
remember correctly, then under HFS "readme" and "README" are the same

correct me where I'm wrong.

That's correct, HFS is case-preserving but case-insensitve. There is a
case-sensitive variant but it is not the default and sadly, some
applications assume case-insensitity and will break if the system
volume is otherwise.
