--- Comment #11 from Warner Losh <imp at FreeBSD.org> ---
There's no way for the kernel to know the locale. That's purely a userland
construct.

msdosfs does have a notion of how to decode things, but it has to be done at
mount time.

And there's likely a bug or two in the translations that's causing the issues
that you're seeing. These bugs are likely in the MSDOSFS code.

I suspect that Conrad's notion of switching to UTF-8 internally is the right
way to go, but worry about compatibility. We should ask the folks that set it
to ISO-8859-1 why that specific choice, and if we can shift the interpretation
over to UTF-8. Eg, was iso-8859-1 just a placeholder that then got perverted
into a format that Windows never produces, or was there a deeper reason...
