From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> NFSD currently provides NFSv4 clients with hard-coded responses indicating all exported filesystems are case-sensitive and case-preserving. This is incorrect for case-insensitive filesystems and ext4 directories with casefold enabled. Query the underlying filesystem's actual case sensitivity via nfsd_get_case_info() and return accurate values to clients. This supports per-directory settings for filesystems that allow mixing case-sensitive and case-insensitive directories within an export.
