Tridge. This sounds GREAT to me.
By having 'unix charset' as UTF-8, and having ntvfs modules for
CP932 and EUC, I'll have the world closest to what I've been looking
for.

I see your point. Please let me delay this topic until Samba5.
By that time, I might simply give up, or might come to some solution.
# We have to solve endian problem for this topics too, so I agree
