For non-UTF-8 locales, + the value of <option>iocharset</option> should be set to be the same as the + character set of the locale, adjusted in such a way that the kernel + understands it. This works if the relevant character set definition (found + under File systems -> Native Language Support when configuring the kernel) + has been compiled into the kernel or built as a module. However, if the + character set of the locale is UTF-8, the corresponding option + <option>iocharset=utf8</option> would make the file system case sensitive. To + fix this, use the special option <option>utf8</option> instead of + <option>iocharset=utf8</option>, for UTF-8 locales. The + <quote>codepage</quote> option is also needed for vfat and smbfs filesystems. + It should be set to the codepage number used under MS-DOS in your country. + For example, in order to mount USB flash drives, a ru_RU.KOI8-R user would + need the following in the options portion of its mount line in + <filename>/etc/fstab</filename>:</para> + +<screen><literal>noauto,user,quiet,showexec,codepage=866,iocharset=koi8r</literal></screen> + + <para>The corresponding options fragment for ru_RU.UTF-8 users is:</para> + +<screen><literal>noauto,user,quiet,showexec,codepage=866,utf8</literal></screen> + + <para>Note that using <option>iocharset</option> is the default for + <literal>iso8859-1</literal> (which keeps the file system case + insensitive), and the <option>utf8</option> option tells + the kernel to convert the file names using UTF-8 so they can be + interpreted in the UTF-8 locale.</para> + + <!--note> + <para>In the latter case, the kernel emits the following message:</para> + +<screen><computeroutput>FAT: utf8 is not a recommended IO charset for FAT filesystems, + filesystem will be case sensitive!</computeroutput></screen> + + <para>This negative recommendation should be ignored, since all other values + of the <quote>iocharset</quote> option result in wrong display of filenames in + UTF-8 locales.</para> + </note--> + + <para>It is also possible to specify default codepage and iocharset values for + some filesystems during kernel configuration. The relevant parameters + are named + <quote>Default NLS Option</quote> (<option>CONFIG_NLS_DEFAULT)</option>, + <quote>Default Remote NLS Option</quote> (<option>CONFIG_SMB_NLS_DEFAULT</option>), + <quote>Default codepage for FAT</quote> (<option>CONFIG_FAT_DEFAULT_CODEPAGE</option>), and + <quote>Default iocharset for FAT</quote> (<option>CONFIG_FAT_DEFAULT_IOCHARSET</option>). + There is no way to specify these settings for the + ntfs filesystem at kernel compilation time.</para> + + <para>It is possible to make the ext3 filesystem reliable across power + failures for some hard disk types.
