Perhaps for the same reason that these other in-tree filesystems are sensitive to the character encoding: Joliet (ISO-9660 extension), FAT/VFAT, NTFS, BeFS, SMBFS, CIFS. Those filesystems will also fail, or give unexpected behaviour (such as bytes being changed to '?'), if you pass them names which are not in the appropriate encoding. -- Jamie - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||
