This is a good question. You may run into a problem, however, as HFS+ (the default fs for OSX) allows unicode filenames. I don't believe any of FAT32, UFS, ext2, or reiser support unicode; possibly ntfs. If there are any solutions, even if it's only an issue of mapping to a slightly more sensible charset, this would be very cool in a talk. Does anyone know how to deal with this? Notably, I have several directories in my music collection with names consisting of Japanese kanji that always become rubbish when moved to any *nix or win32 fs.
