vfat and Upper Case?

[Pat Suwalski]

Hello,

I've been trying to figure this out for months now, so I will attempt to 
get help without resorting to a shrink. :)

I'm on a Gentoo system, with kernel 2.6.12, udev 084, hal 0.5.5.1. Gnome 
2.12.

Until the 2.6.11 (or .12) kernel, my USB-storage, vfat camera would 
display filenames lowercase. Since then, it uses uppercase.

It's clearly because of the shortname mount option, and it behaves 
properly when I set it from "winnt" to "lower":

/dev/sdb1 on /media/SANVOL type vfat 
(rw,nosuid,nodev,quiet,shortname=winnt,uid=1000,gid=100,umask=077,iocharset=utf8)

However, I can't figure out where those mount options are set. All I 
know is that I have to rename each file I get from my camera, or mount 
manually. I suspect the problem may be pmount, but I don't know.

Below is some dmesg output. Thanks for any help!
