why converting only the file name but not the file content? Wouldn't such a half-baked conversion make things even worse because then the file name encoding would no longer match its content encoding which means in any locale either the file name or its content would be shown wrong unless it is ASCII which is the only encoding that "just works" (I already hear them screaming "nowadays all is UTF-8" ;-) For some more fun in encoding hell have a look at https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Plain_Text_versus_Locale I know nothing about NFS details but I guess that for NFS a filename is a plain sequence of bytes.
