Actually, the kernel should just be defaulting to the right option :-) Done. What about non-UTF-8 locales? When I try to use the usb flash (for example) in localized windows and linux boxes the last brings incorrect file- and dirnames (only utf8fied independly of iocharset option). It is no good behaviour for me (I'm using uk_UA.KOI8-U locale on my linux box). In addition, I think may be more good to use CONFIG_FAT_DEFAULT_CODEPAGE=437 CONFIG_FAT_DEFAULT_IOCHARSET="utf8" or something like that? *** Bug 192541 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Had to dig through kernel SRPM to find a solution for my problem ;-( I don't think that's the correct way for end users. After looking at fs/fat/inode.c I found the utf8=0 (and the equivalent utf8=false) options which solve my problem when using a non-UTF8 locale, which is undocumented in "man mount". However, I think the solution to make utf8 enabled by default is kind of crude. The least that should be done is to add info about "utf8=0" option to the man page, because that was the first place where I was looking for an answer. But I still think that changing Anaconda to add the "utf8" mount option would be better. |
