VFAT is case insensitive?!

I confirm that it has no incidence on case-sensitivity. As per
ubuntu-fr's wiki, I'm mounting my vfat partitions with utf8 but folders
and files are still case-insensitive.



Here is what my fstab entries look like nevertheless:




Code:
--------------------
    /dev/hda5 /doc vfat user,auto,gid=100,uid=1000,umask=002,iocharset=utf8,codepage=850 0 0
--------------------




Type "man mount" in the console to have more information on mounting
options. I gathered that the default iocharset is "iso8859-1", also
called ISO Latin 1 (on which the Windows Latin 1 character table
commonly used in Windows is based).



[Edit: utf and 8 should not be separate, I don't understand why it's
displayed that way. The option is "iocharset=utf8".]
