Maintainer of kernel FAT code says this is a feature, no bug. Well, then I have
to accept this.

Title:
mount: codepage mapping does not work for msdos fs
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
I want to mount a DOS 5.0 partition without messing it up with LFNs.
According to docs this only works if I use the MSDOS fs instead of
VFAT.
But using MSDOS fails converting non ASCII chars.
If I mount this way:
mount -t vfat -o check=strict,codepage=850,iocharset=iso8859-1,utf8
everything is fine:
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ AßLAR ÄÜÖßÄÜÖ istdaskürzer nochlänger
ABC ÄÜÖÄÜÖ äüößÄÜÖ2 longfilename öööööööööö
If I mount using MSDOS
mount -t msdos -o check=strict,codepage=850
the chars aren't translated at all:
ls shows garbage:
?????? ????? ??????~1 ??????~1 ?????2 abc a?lar istdas~1 longfi~1
nochl?~1
if piped through less, you can see it delivers the cp850 codes.
<8E><9A><99><8E><9A><99>
<8E><9A><99><U+139A><99>
<99><99><99><99><99><99>~1
<8E><8E><8E><8E><8E><8E>~1
<8E><9A><99><U+139A><99>2
abc
a<E1>lar
istdas~1
longfi~1
nochl<8E>~1
Writing filenames directly writes UTF8 codes on the disk (I believe,
not verified)
thanks
