Hi all!
This question has been asked here a while ago, but AFAIR it has not been
answered.
I have a dual-boot pc: RH6.0 (kernel 2.2.5-22) and hebrew win98. All the
dos partitions are vfat (not fat32).
I want to take a bounch of files with long hebrew names and copy them to a
different computer, as the windows can not currently boot.
The problem is that I see all hebrew chars as "?".
from reading vfat.txt on kernel docs I understannd that vfat long
filenames are stored in unicode. When I use "utf8=true" I get some unicode
gibrish instead of the question marks. I did not figure out if there is
any way of using the "iocharset" option. There is the uni_xlate option,
but I want to somehow copy those files later to a different computer.
If I use either "utf8" or "uni_xlate" - can I offer those files through
samba/ftp/http to a windows client that will read it as hebrew?
Alternatively - is there a way to pack those files to tar/zip/whatever
archive that would be opened on a windows client and the file names be
read correctly?
Thanks in advance
