For details on the six - fields in this file, see <command>man 5 fstab</command>.</para> - - <para>Filesystems with MS-DOS or Windows origin (i.e. vfat, ntfs, smbfs, - cifs, iso9660, udf) need a special option, utf8, in order for non-ASCII - characters in file names to be interpreted properly. 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. To do this, add the - <option>barrier=1</option> mount option to the appropriate entry in - <filename>/etc/fstab</filename>. To check if the disk drive supports - this option, run - <ulink url="&blfs-book;general/hdparm.html">hdparm</ulink> - on the applicable disk drive. For example, if:</para> - -<screen role="nodump"><userinput>hdparm -I /dev/sda | grep NCQ</userinput></screen> - - <para>returns non-empty output, the option is supported.</para> - - <para>Note: Logical Volume Management (LVM) based partitions cannot use the - <option>barrier</option> option.</para> - -</sect1> |
