Hi, The handbook is really great !!! Good work. But there's is maybe an error in the chapter disk organisation. In the first sentence you write : ... find files is the filename. Filenames are -->case-sensitive<---, which means that readme.txt and README.TXT are two seperate files. Yes that is conditionally correct. You surely known what I mean, because mounting a msdos filesystem theres no such problem (I call it problem, because the people using FreeBSD the first time, think "shit why dont recognizes FreeBSD readme.txt", but the user means README.txt). I suggest to add this comment (And also write that this a exception), and that users should not acclimate this (not acclimate to type case-insensitive sutff). I think users should know everything about the system (and every exception), because If they found the problem, they think "this shit handbook, has bugs".
