mount with iocharset=utf8

[estellnb]

FreeBSD refuses to mount with the iocharset=utf8 and utf8 options. Is there any way to access files on my home partition where the filename contains utf8 characters? f.i. VLC media player refuses to open such files.

What fs?

I can muse files with utf-8 and non utf-8 chrs on my UFS-2, no problem

i have added fallowing options to my custom kernel
perhaps that can help
options LIBICONV
options MSDOSFS_ICONV
options CD9660_ICONV


also how do you upen them?
I use urxvt.... if you have problems opening files, try single quoting them

I need it to mount my ext2fs - home partition.

I'm afraid there are no such option for ext2fs [maybe there's other solution]

[estellnb]

The kernel maintainers say that mounting with a possible utf8 option is not necessary when utf8 is enabled as default charset. Nevertheless I have not found any useful hints on the web on how to do this.
