I have a Mac OS X v10.7 (Lion) system, and I ran into some issues because my file-system is case-insensitive.

When you create a new partition in the Disk Utility, it lets me choose to use either of those:

  1. Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled)
  2. Mac OS Extended (Journaled)

Is it possible to change an existing partition from (Journaled) to (Case-sensitive, Journaled)?

I believe you'll need to reformat the partition to change its case sensitivity.

Edit: Actually, I just found this question, which is a very similar problem. It looks like something called iPartition worked to change a partition from case-sensitive to case-insensitive, and I would assume it could do it the other way around as well, as what you need to do is actually simpler.
