This PR is pending for a while: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=133174 I tested the patch many times and never found any problems. Mandarin file names all look good. Is there a way to check this patch into 8.0? I mount disks with the option -L=zh_TW.UTF-8. Not sure if the first part (zh_TW) really matters. ru_RU.UTF-8 works with Chinese file names the same way. I guess it should be just -L=UTF-8 but this makes mount_msdosfs to fail with some strange error message. It's very important to have FreeBSD understand international file names in msdosfs since this will make it's use easier for non-English users. Please let me know what you think. Thank you, Yuri
