That might be appropriate for a similar problem on CD-ROM filesystems. (when the CD is rockridge KOI8 and you want UTF-8) It may even be appropriate for Joliet, though 8.3 may be the better choice in that case. It's not appropriate for vfat, HPFS, JFS, or NTFS. All of those have built-in support for 8.3 aliases. Normally the 8.3 names are like hidden hard links, except that deletion of either name will wipe out the other. (same as case differences too) So the names are there, and they should already work. They just need to be reported for directory listings when the long names would be too long. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
