Re: character sets for file names on ufs?
In the last episode (May 28), Tom Worster said: what character set/encoding is used for file names in freebsd when i have a default ufs fs? Whatever you want; ufs filenames have no assumed character set. zfs defaults to the same rules, but can enforce only valid utf8 filenames if the utf8only property is set. -- Dan Nelson dnel...@allantgroup.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

UFS is 8 bit clean, so you can basically use it with any 8bit character set. No encoding is enforced and no conversion is ever applied to file names on UFS. If you set your locale to UTF-8, you can use unicode characters in filenames. For instance: % touch ⡍⠜⠇⠑⠹ ⠺⠁⠎ ⠁⠎ ⠙⠑⠁⠙ ⠁⠎ ⠁ % ls ⡍⠜⠇⠑⠹ ⠺⠁⠎ ⠁⠎ ⠙⠑⠁⠙ ⠁⠎ ⠁ % rm ⡍⠜⠇⠑⠹\ ⠺⠁⠎\ ⠁⠎\ ⠙⠑⠁⠙\ ⠁⠎\ ⠁\ % (I don't have a clue what that means btw) -- Pieter de Goeje ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
