Changing Your Filesystem's Locale?

Posted by Cliff on Tuesday May 13, 2003 @08:56PM from the when-your-filenames-need-to-change-charset dept.

dybdahl asks: "Now that Red Hat has changed the default character set to be UTF-8, none of the existing filenames that included local characters like æ, ø, å, (Denmark) are handled correctly by Konqueror or can be seen correctly with "ls" in a shell. Is there a tool out there that can convert an ISO8859-1 ext3 filesystem to UTF-8?"

I gotta agree. This does not deserve to be on Slashdot, there are much better forums for this question than Slashdot. Heck, following this trend, when can we expect Adam Carolla and Dr Drew to help answer geek love questions?

"Dr. Drew? This grrl I like is a Gentoohead, and I am a Debian Freak. How can I bring her around to see that Debian is the one true distribution, and to give up her heathen ways?"
