Hi, I want to mount a DOS 5.0 partition without messing it up with LFNs. According to man page this only works if I use the MSDOS fs instead of VFAT. But using MSDOS fails on converting non ASCII chars. If I mount using VFAT: mount -t vfat -o check=strict,codepage=850,iocharset=iso8859-1,utf8 everything is fine: ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ AßLAR ÄÜÖßÄÜÖ istdaskürzer nochlänger ABC ÄÜÖÄÜÖ äüößÄÜÖ2 longfilename öööööööööö If I mount using MSDOS: mount -t msdos -o check=strict,codepage=850 the chars aren't translated at all: ls shows garbage: ?????? ????? ??????~1 ??????~1 ?????2 abc a?lar istdas~1 longfi~1 nochl?~1 if piped through less, you can see it delivers cp850 codes: <8E><9A><99><8E><9A><99> <8E><9A><99><U+139A><99> <99><99><99><99><99><99>~1 <8E><8E><8E><8E><8E><8E>~1 <8E><9A><99><U+139A><99>2 abc a<E1>lar istdas~1 longfi~1 nochl<8E>~1 write access creates UTF8 codes on the disk (I believe, not verified) Could you please have a look into it?
