I am not aware of any standard way to find out whether a file-system
is case-sensitive or not, and the standard Linux kernel drivers for
FAT and SMB based filesystems are case-sensitive even though the
underlying filesystem is case-insensitive (although patches are
available to make the drivers case insensitive where applications do
not prevent it).  So yes, unfortunately it is a question of OS these
days.
