HFS+, however, has an option to be case-sensitive, and you can format such a filesystem with Disk Utility or third-party software such as (shameless plug) iPartition.

In the meantime, you can create a case-sensitive HFS+ filesystem somewhere (e.g. in a disk image, in another partition, on an external disk, or mounted over the network) where you'll get the behaviour you want.

Minor nit: HFS+ is case-preserving but not case-sensitive.  HFSX (a minor revision to the HFS+ volume format) optionally supports case-sensitive file names.  When using command line utilities such as diskutil and hdiutil you'll want to specify HFSX not HFS+.


Thank you, I thought I had received conflicting information regarding this point.
