Hi Hans,

UTF-8 (is also Unicode) has no nulls in it, and does not 
generate '/' or other problematic charakters, and is actually working on 
Reiserfs.

The problem with a migration to Unicode is that we either have to switch all 
applications at once, or have the information in the filesystem, in which 
encoding the filenames are ...

But you are right, it's a VFS issue ...

Many greetings,
