first, ntfs is a unicode filesystem, file names are saved in unicode. in linux, the high level layers are supposed to decide whether saving in 8 bit, 16 bits,utf8 or even utf16. The kernel does not care about it. It's GLIBC's work to do that. If you have GLIBC > 2.2, you should start mounting

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that people use UTF-8 filenames yet. A small test I've made shows that even KDE saves hebrew filenames in a non-unicode form. I think that Windows behaves in a similar way. On Sat, 2004-01-03 at 15:20, Behdad Esfahbod wrote: > On Sat, 3 Jan 2004, Oren
