Description Bouke Woudstra 2005-02-09 02:55:02 UTC

Using ivman, automounting of my mp3-disk(usb) didn't work, because it was  
trying to mount with utf8 option as declared  
in /usr/share/hal/fdi/90defaultpolicy/storage-policy.fdi (Use UTF-8 charset for 
vfat) 
  
dmesg | tail gave the following complaint:  
  
sda: sda1   
 Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi1, channel 0, id 0, lun 0   
 Attached scsi generic sg0 at scsi1, channel 0, id 0, lun 0, type 0   
 usb-storage: device scan complete   
 FAT: utf8 is not a recommended IO charset for FAT filesystems, filesystem will  
be case sensitive!   
 Unable to load NLS charset utf8   
 FAT: IO charset utf8 not found   
 FAT: utf8 is not a recommended IO charset for FAT filesystems, filesystem will  
be case sensitive!   
 Unable to load NLS charset utf8   
 FAT: IO charset utf8 not found  
  
After commenting the utf8 stuff, it worked great. It would be nice if things  
just worked at default values...  
  
System: Gentoo Linux  
Hal version: 0.4.7  
Ivman: 0.5_pre2  
Dbus: 0.23(-r2)

I changed this in CVS for the 0.4.x tree. In current HAL version/tree (0.5.x) 
this is no longer present.

        * fdi/90defaultpolicy/storage-policy.fdi: fixed fd.o bug #2509
        changed for VFAT from *.iocharset=utf8 (is not recommended, see:
        /usr/src/linux/Documentation/filesystems/vfat.txt) to *.utf8=true
