Chris,

You may well be correct but that explanation doesn't = account for the fact that the only incorrect information in the ls = command output is not even alphanumeric in type.  It is most = probably ULONG or some such and would therefore not be affected so much = by ASCII/UNICODE file naming conventions.  BTW, the filenames = display fine AFAICT.

It may well be the driver (it is just = preliminary).  I am not trying to place any blame, this report is = just informational for anyone that is or wants to be using = ext2fs.

Warmest regards to all,
