Hi! I'm starting to use XFS not for so long. First with kernel 2.4.14-xfs
without any problems... I have some files with international characters
(since I'm an spanish speaker) like a ( &aacute; :P ), or q (&ntilde;) and
so... With XFS enabled kernel 2.4.14 I have no problems with this files,
but yesterday I've tried to update to kernel 2.4.17-xfs (from XFS CVS) and
all the files that hace this characters appears with strange characters so
"ls" and other program (or maybe directly the kernel?) can't find them:
kernel 2.4.14-xfs:
$ ls
lo que vendra (cd 1)
cd lo\ que\ vendra\ \(cd\ 1\)/
lo que vendra (cd 1)$ ls
adiss nonino.mp3
kernel 2.4.17-xfs:
$ ls
lo que vendr? (cd 1)
cd lo\ que\ vendra\ \(cd\ 1\)/
lo que vendra (cd 1)$ ls
ls: adiss nonino.mp3: No existe el fichero o el directorio (*)


(*) means "File or directory does not exists"

I've seen and compared both 2.4.14 and 2.4.17 kernel config files and there
are no significant defferences. I have compile Native languaje support in
both kernels (with iso8859-1 as default).
A weird thing is that kernel 2.4.17 shows the directories with
international character bad, but it find them anyway. With files, this is
not true... it can't find them.

Well I hope this information is enoght so you can help me, and if is not,
please tell me what extra information do you need...

Thanks a lot!!!

I do not think this can have anything to do with xfs, it does not manipulate character
strings in any way. All it does it copy them and compare them. Someone on the list
may be able to help you though.
