zfs discuss - Dec 2008 - Accented characters in zfs filesystem names?

Hi, all.

I''ve just installed OpensSolaris 2008.11 and among the great features
(zfs being THE feature) I''m finding some minor annoyances. One of them
is that I can''t create a zfs filesystem with an accented character in
its name (the encoding is utf-8):

pjlobo at pc8120a:~$ zfs create rpool/export/home/pjlobo/M?sica
cannot create ''rpool/export/home/pjlobo/M?sica'': invalid
character ''?'' in name

Where the ''?'' character is 0xc3. Certainly I could live with
that, but I find it rather bizarre that a legal file name is not a legal
filesystem name as well. Am I missing something here?

Cheers,

      Pedro.

I think that''s a bug.  I''ve filed:

6787056 valid_char() (via dataset_namecheck()) not internationalized
