This is on openSUSE/64bit 11.0
I have no german umlauts in file names on automounted vfat file systems on USB flash drives. I cannot change the files names because the system reports: “file … does not exist”
# mount
/dev/sdb1 on /media/NO_NAME type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000)
But this is not a general problem with umlauts. The problem is that only vfat file systems are (auto-)mounted without support of special characters. How can I change this?
Hmm, is fstab the optimal place to change mount options for hotplug devices? What if I plug in a second and a third usb drive with vfat file systems?
Currently at least, the (wrong) mount options are configured elsewhere, not in /etc/fstab. But where? And I’m not sure if this an issue with udev or with HAL?
