:) That's why they are all running back to UTF-8 nowadays ;)

I think people did that upon upgrades (from pre RH8.0 generated
filesystems?), because the existing filesystem or perhaps NFS didn't
reflect the previous filenames and the introduction of UTF-8 in RH
could have documented better how to deal with these issues.

IIRC there wasn't any tool shipped with RH releases to migrate ext3
partitions with latin1 filenames to UTF-8.
