-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 I'm investigating a bug report about the msdos filesystem and the fact that it appears to ignore the codepage argument. The user wants to use msdos instead of vfat to avoid adding long filenames to the fs and store the short filenames using code page 850. I verified that when the on disk directory entry contains 0x8E, which is an umlouted A in cp850, but when mounting with mount -t msdos no matter what codepage I specify in -o, ls outputs the raw 0x8E rather than using the specified codepage to translate the on disk string to utf8. The msdos filesystem refuses to accept the utf8 or iocharset options, so how do you get it to do correct translation using the specified codepage? Also in the process I noticed some odd behavior of ls. If I set my terminal to use cp850 and ls | cat, I see the umlouted A, but without piping the output through cat, it comes out as a question mark. Why is that? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQEcBAEBCgAGBQJUneYfAAoJENRVrw2cjl5RpOYH/3MsR7aeuJAKcAyIzo57k397 Ef9wAD37FxJ/CzQ8o+ZtlN4wMY2sYx6gbZBK5lfi2T6NfzJ/7k6zhG9Kxr+4zZyS m/Zuq2NHN5dSANhaUqJNtRDHA1/kTHZHvC/oZ+Kpoogr1tOAslayuYz1L24Kz/FB m3p6eXbRJBW1wJ2tqW3F45Wbw0oB9K7mBRGzTRedwVTSzNdGJdl2Dy+ru74r8yu2 5i4m7wmuwNZ7WtCd1Rs3B81wDwK0Uz8TPZL2W7lp15MHl1Bi8l9NsClYVcrXALLs RacNE57laNu16ijTtJxgz7DBttZTQZRplCCB2pRLxr01Iv09TtJr/x+k8z3hYvA= =O/ao -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
