For me FreeBSD ext2fs works fine with UTF-8 encoded file names providing that you have configured locale settings correctly. Do you expect "iocharset=utf8" and "utf8" mount options to convert file names to some other encoding? AFAIK even Linux doesn't support such options for ext2. -- Jaakko --------------070101080609050401060407 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Basically I would expect the utf8 file system option to convert from utf8 to whatever charset is selected by default at the moment.

 I don't think this is a bug. For me FreeBSD ext2fs works fine with UTF-8
 encoded file names providing that you have configured locale settings
 correctly.
 
 Do you expect "iocharset=utf8" and "utf8" mount options to convert
 file names to some other encoding? AFAIK even Linux doesn't support such
 options for ext2.
