Hi all,

I've noticed that in the last week all of a sudden my hebrew folders / files are gone from my windows partitions (in winXP i can see them).

i'm mounting all my fat32/ntfs as 8859-1 coding but still i can't see them (i used to see :()

 

anyone as a clue ? please ?

so i've checked my fstab file and this is the file after i tried to change a few things:

/dev/sda1 / ext3 relatime 1 1
/dev/sda7 /boot ext3 relatime 1 2
/dev/sda10 /home ext3 relatime 1 2
/dev/hda /media/cdrom auto umask=0022,users,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,noauto,ro,exec 0 0
/dev/sda5 /mnt/files vfat umask=0,users,iocharset=iso8859-1,exec 0 0
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/win_c2 ntfs-3g umask=0,user,locale=utf8,exec 0 0
/dev/sdb5 /mnt/win_d ntfs-3g umask=0,user,locale=utf8,exec 0 0
/dev/sda8 /usr ext3 relatime 1 2
/dev/sda9 /var ext3 relatime 1 2
/dev/sda6 swap swap defaults 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0

 

if i try and put iso8859-1 in the ntfs-3g mounts i get the following error after doing remount:

WARNING: Couldn't set locale to 'ISO8859-1' thus some file names may not
	 be correct or visible. Please see the potential solution at
	 http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#locale

 

when i run the locale -a command i get a list and in the list there is:

if i choose he_IL.UTF-8 then i can see hebrew files in my ntfs mounts but still not in my fat32 :(

any ideas ?

locale=he_IL.UTF-8 is the correct setting for the ntfs/ntfs-3g volumes.

For the vfat volume first try to change the iocharset value to iso8859-8, although a better idea would be converting it to ntfs as well. There's absolutely no reason keeping data in vfat volumes anymore...
