The uppercase file is created +while formatting and it defines the mapping of lower case characters to +upper case ones, as needed to sort file names in directories. The warning +means that the uppercase file defined on the file system is not the same as +the one used by the Windows OS on which chkdsk is running, and this may +happen because newer versions of Windows take into account new characters +defined by the Unicode consortium. +.P +Currently, mkntfs creates the uppercase table so that no warning is thrown +by Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8. A warning may be thrown by +other Windows versions, or if chkdsk is applied in succession on different +Windows versions. .SH BUGS If you find a bug please send an email describing the problem to the development team:
