I don't always reformat hard drives, but when I do, I spend a ridiculous amount of time deciding between case-insensitive journaled HFS+ or case-sensitive journaled HFS+.

It's a sensitive subject.

Last time I tried case-sensitive (this was years ago), bad things happened. So I just stick w/the default case-insensitive now.

as much as I want to do the right UNIX thing, you should stick with case-insensitive. For example, Adobe products refuse to install on case-sensitive HFS+.
- Jonathan Disher
Yeah, on the pro side, case-insensitive is the default setting. On the con side, I once formatted a hard drive with case-sensitive HFS+ years and years ago and now I have a bunch of mp3 and aacs that only differ from one another due to capitalization.

This is one thing I still can't forgive Apple and Adobe for.

As Johnathan stated, lots of apps don't like Case-sensative Journaled.
