Title:
vfat: missing iso8859-1 charset
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
The vfat kernel code has two dependencies: the code page (437) and the
iocharset (iso8859-1), and while the former is built-in (like the vfat
code itself), the latter is built as an external module, making vfat
unusable unless the nsl_iso8859-1 ko is available at the moment a vfat
filesystem is mounted.
What is just a discrepancy in the config that we never hit (since we
are shipping the nsl_iso8859-1 .ko in our initrd), became a problem in
kernel derivatives of our -generic kernel (e.g. snappy) where we don't
have any control on the modules people pack in their initrd, and in
case the boot partition is a vfat partition that is being mounted
during the boot.
For this reason, i propose to fix the root problem and turn
CONFIG_NLS_ISO8859_1=y to make the vfat code completely independent on
any external factor.
