   There are other filesystems that are or can be mounted case-insensitive too:   
   exFAT, NTFS, JFS, XFS, ext4, f2fs, zfs.   
      
   ext4 and f2fs is a bit complicated. NTFS can be mounted with mount.lowntfs-3g.   
   I think the easiest ones are vfat, exfat, jfs and zfs. I just tried jfs and   
   zfs and it seems to work fine. Just in case you want to use a more   
   sophisticated (journaled) filesystem than vfat/exfat.   
      
   truncate -s 256M /tmp/jfs.img   
   mkfs.jfs -O /tmp/jfs.img   
   mount /tmp/jfs.img /mnt   
      
   truncate -s 256M /tmp/zfs.img   
   zpool create testpool /tmp/zfs.img   
   zfs create -o casesensitivity=insensitive testpool/outbound   
      
   You could also use Squish on Linux.
