[comp.protocols.nfs] pc-nfs and cd-roms

Is it possible to control the filename mapping performed by pc-nfs
as it accesses a Unix filesystem?

We have a number of CD-ROM drives attached to Unix hosts.  Often
these contain executables for MS-DOS.  However, the filenames on
the CD-ROM are already in DOS form, e.g. FILENAME.EXT.  pc-nfs
first inverts the case of all the characters, determines that
it is not a valid DOS filename, and generates tilde-gibberish.

I would like to be able to specify, on a per-volume basis, whether
filenames should or should not have the case of the characters
inverted.  The current behavior is correct for most situations,
but for a CD-ROM it is not.

Thanks.
