Well, as unexpected as it is, the answer is yes. mount_msdosfs uses libkiconv(3) which dlopen()s libiconv.so, which is not provided by the base system and thus has to come from a thirdparty, typically the iconv port. We already have a BSD-licensed iconv in the src tree, but it is not connected to the build yet. > 2.

That -L controls how the OS internally represents the file names on the filesystem. > The filenames may LOOK differently but the files are still accessible under > their > garbaged names. Locale controls output and input of characters. -- Andriy Gapon _______________________________________________ freebsd-bugs@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-bugs-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
