Bug #2026: String encodings are not supported by most of IO on Linux http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/2026 Author: Vit Ondruch Status: Open, Priority: Normal Category: M17N ruby -v: ruby 1.9.2dev (2009-08-19 trunk 24581) [i686-linux] If string used as path has different than UTF-8, the path created on file system is incorrect. The described faulty behavior is common for most of Dir and IO actions. Attached script demonstrates the behavior on sample of Dir#mkdir method. ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org
