Hello experts,
I try to mount FAT32 external disk on USB formated and used on Windows 7 and then share with Samba. After some fiddeling I have succeded except for the codepage encoding. If I mount the disk without any extra parameters it is mounted as following:
/dev/sda1 on /share type vfat (rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro)
After sharing it with Samba all the accented characters in filenames are corrupted. The filename use Czech language so I guess that the encoding should be CP852 (ISO) or CP1250(Win) and the iocharset should be unicode (utf-8) or iso8859-2.
I have tried various combinations in parameters of mount like -o codepage=852,iocharset=utf-8 and others but the only effects that in the Putty console all the accented characters are substituted by questionmarks and on Samba (on Win 7) they are substituted be some special characters. These special characters differ wth each combination of codepage and iocharset but it never shows the correct accented characters.
Can anyone help?
Regards
Jiri
