While non-ut8 characters are perfectly valid unix filenames, and I think everyones life is easier if we generally stay out of the utf8 business it seems that for this particular use case (shared filesystem with Windows, right) just accepting utf8 should be fine. ZFS is doing, MacOS X apparently is, and NFSv4 requires it, although as far as I know most implementations ignore that requirement. _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
