I was just wondering, what is stopping you from finding out what
kind of
volume it is?
The information is there in the volume header. If you want to find out
more about volume headers you can do a search on the
developer.apple.com
for "tn 1150" or HFSPlusVolumeHeader.
This is not a good solution, because:
1. Other file systems can be case-insensitive too (FAT for instance).
2. There can be other equivalent names with the same case, in HFS for
instance composed vs decomposed Unicode - "a\314\201" and "\303\241"
is the same file name (represents aacute).
And of course if you're comparing paths you've got from the user,
"a/.///./../a/./b" and "a/b" is also the same file.
