It should not be too hard to preserve the bit-representation of the
names of the files being copied. I.e. the following sequence should
not produce bad filenames:
(cd /dosc; tar cvf - .)|(cd /linux-nfs-mounted-dir; tar xvf -)
rm -rf /dosc
(cd /linux-nfs-mounted-dir; tar cvf - .)|(cd /dosc; tar xvf -)
