filesystem character encoding

I wonder, where does KDE know about my ext2/ext3 filesystem character encoding from?

I ask because actually it doesn't. In all KDE apps I see my koi8-u encoded filenames
like if they were in iso-8859-1, even if I launch application with LC_ALL=ru_UA.koi8u.
Where can I specify correct filesystem character encoding?

You can define your character enconding in /etc/fstab.
At the line with your partition, put something like this in the options section:

charset=koi8-u

See man:///fstab for the correct syntaxis

As far as I know, ext2/ext3 filesystems have no such property as charset. You can use any. Since all console programs respect locale settings, there's no trouble. But, unfortunately, KDE doesn't seem to respect locale. So, my goal is to tell KDE that it should read and write filenames in koi8-r.

You could contact the translation team of your language and ask if they know how to solve this issue.
