    SubjectRe: JFS default behavior
    From
    Date
    | Linus Torvalds pointed the way of Tux :

    | In short: the kernel talks bytestreams, and that implies that if you
    | want to talk to the kernel, you HAVE TO USE UTF-8.

    In that case :
    - should the kernel allow apps to write filenames that are invalid
    UTF-8 and will crash UTF-8 apps ?
    - should this UTF-8 rule be noted somewhere (in a FAQ/man page/LSB spec/
    whatever) so apps authors know they are supposed to read and write UTF-8
    filenames and not apply locale rules to kernel objects ?
    - what happens to already existing invalid UTF-8 filenames ? Should the
    kernel forcibly rewrite them (in 2.7.0...) to remove legacy mess ? What
    should happen if someone plug an unconverted FS in such a system
    afterwards ?

    These are the questions people have been asking.
