Solved mount and ntfs-3g: permissions and charset changed (2)

[vince66]

Hello guys,

as you well know the mount_msdosfs(8) allows to specify, among others, these two options:

−L locale: Specify locale name used for file name conversions for DOS and Win’95 names. By default ISO 8859-1 assumed as local character set.
−D DOS_codepage: Specify the MS-DOS code page (aka IBM/OEM code page) name used for file name conversions for DOS names.

I've tryed to use -L it_CH.UTF-8 .... but whitout results.

See the previous thread: mount and ntfs-3g: permissions and charset changed (answer of: Bobi B. member)

My apologize for the question:

do you know if is it possible retrieve apriori these informations from the partition /dev/daxs1 (or /dev/ada1p1) before it was mounted ? It is not easy to grope !

I've tryed with sysctl user.posix2_localedef and sysctl user.posix2_char_term ..... worse than ever !!!

Tips are welcome.

Bye !

My apologize guys !

The solution:

mount_msdosfs -o ro -L it_CH.UTF-8 /dev/da4s1 /mnt

is the right form, but to be correctly recognized by the mount_msdosfs(8) is necessary that the character set it_CH.UTF-8 was previously declared in .cshrc.

Bye !!
