The bug reporter sent me the disk image which fails (CA+ePHTDrJHi2z71s5+pZuBWEenBq9oCYuN+VuEhSRiYQFd4C6w.com) It is a vfat partition containing files with Chinese characters. When mounted without any options, these show up as "?". When mounted with the "utf8" mount option, these show up normally. ><fs> list-filesystems /dev/vda: vfat ><fs> mount /dev/vda / ><fs> ll / total 24 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Jan 1 1970 . drwxr-xr-x 23 500 500 4096 May 23 09:53 .. -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Nov 30 08:18 ?? ????.txt -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 58 Nov 30 08:18 ?? ????.wav -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 22 Nov 30 08:18 ??

I have however pushed a documentation fix and a new test upstream which should help: https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/6445bc5952efd47fb1aa0880d9038040551d72ed https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/8e8a5764293d1b6bc3dbfb9409722e4c13384aec |
