next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
When I mount FAT disk all such files cause 'ls' to produce messages like this: ls: WS???????.WMA: Invalid argument I found online that I should use command: mount_msdosfs -D cp936 -L zh_CN.UTF-8 /dev/device /path/to/folder but it doesn't work either. Handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/lang-setup.html) mentions that in order to be able to see Russian file names fstab has to contain this: /dev/ad0s2 /dos/c msdos rw,-Wkoi2dos,-Lru_RU.KOI8-R 0 0 But what about Chinese file names? And how come different locales require different commands to mount? What if file system will have both Chinese and Russian file names? Thanks, Yuri
