+tmpfs has the following mounting options for case-insensitive lookup support:
+
+================= ==============================================================
+casefold          Enable casefold support at this mount point using the given
+                  argument as the encoding standard. Currently only UTF-8
+                  encodings are supported. If no argument is used, it will load
+                  the latest UTF-8 encoding available.
+strict_encoding   Enable strict encoding at this mount point (disabled by
+                  default). In this mode, the filesystem refuses to create file
+                  and directory with names containing invalid UTF-8 characters.
+================= ==============================================================
+
+This option doesn't render the entire filesystem case-insensitive. One needs to
+still set the casefold flag per directory, by flipping +F attribute in an empty
+directory. Nevertheless, new directories will inherit the attribute. The
+mountpoint itself will cannot be made case-insensitive.
+
+Example::
+
+    $ mount -t tmpfs -o casefold=utf8-12.1.0,strict_encoding fs_name /mytmpfs
+    $ mount -t tmpfs -o casefold fs_name /mytmpfs
+
