As you mentioned, this is a problem with somebody using Windows &
Linux too. Luckily I'm quite accustomed to using lowercase unit names,
but mixed case names inside the 'unit xxx' line and uses clauses. So
this should pose a problem to me, thanks for mentioning it though.

I have no idea if this is true or not. At the moment I am only
converting my /opt and /home partitions. These are the ones I modify
or create files in. The / partition is still case sensitive - so again
this shouldn't cause me troubles.
