scarecrow Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 Are you mounting them as read/write with ntfs-3g? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aRTee Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 You can also use the command 'mount' without any options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igotnoluck Posted April 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 (edited) 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: C CP1251 en en_AU en_AU.ISO-8859-1 en_AU.UTF-8 en_BE en_BE.ISO-8859-1 en_BE.ISO-8859-15 en_BE.UTF-8 en_BW en_BW.ISO-8859-1 en_BW.UTF-8 en_CA en_CA.ISO-8859-1 en_CA.UTF-8 en_DK en_DK.ISO-8859-1 en_DK.UTF-8 en_GB en_GB.ISO-8859-1 en_GB.UTF-8 en_HK en_HK.ISO-8859-1 en_HK.UTF-8 en_IE en_IE.ISO-8859-1 en_IE.ISO-8859-15 en_IE.UTF-8 en_IN en_IN.UTF-8 en_NG en_NG.UTF-8 en_NZ en_NZ.ISO-8859-1 en_NZ.UTF-8 en_PH en_PH.ISO-8859-1 en_PH.UTF-8 en_SG en_SG.ISO-8859-1 en_SG.UTF-8 en_US en_US.ISO-8859-1 en_US.UTF-8 en_ZA en_ZA.ISO-8859-1 en_ZA.UTF-8 en_ZW en_ZW.ISO-8859-1 en_ZW.UTF-8 he hebrew he_IL he_IL.CP1255 he_IL.ISO-8859-8 he_IL.UTF-8 ISO-8859-1 ISO-8859-13 ISO-8859-14 ISO-8859-15 ISO-8859-2 ISO-8859-3 ISO-8859-4 ISO-8859-5 ISO-8859-7 ISO-8859-9 KOI8-R KOI8-U POSIX UTF-8 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 ?

scarecrow Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 (edited) 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... Edited April 28, 2008 by scarecrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
