No.

The hash bucket is selected via:

	ncpp = &nchashtbl[(cnp->cn_hash ^ dvp->v_id) & nchash];

(see vfs_cache.c)

cnp->cn_hash is computed in vfs_lookup.c from the pathname component:

	cnp->cn_hash = 0;
	for (cp = cnp->cn_nameptr; *cp != '\0' && *cp != '/'; cp++)
		cnp->cn_hash += (unsigned char)*cp;

Not the only one; for example, the MS-DOS filesystem without the win95
extensions for long filenames is case-insensitive..
