This doesn't impact the mount point name or the names of files created
with open(2) or directory names. It only impacts the "device" name, ie
the ZFS filesystem name used instead of things like /dev/md/dsk/d50.
So I don't see how this could be a problem for KDE.
OK
I still think it may be a good idea to allow all characters used by
urlencode as this allows the encoding of any characters by the calling
application on demand. Its not used yet but it may be useful in the
future.
