Hi,
First, the title.
There is no such thing "non-unicode vfat". FAT file systems comes in two
flavors. One is the classic, pre-Windows 95, version, which only
supported ASCII (no Hebrew at all). The other is the LFN extension to
FAT, which is encoded in UTF-16 (i.e. - unicode). In other words, if the
DoK has Hebrew names, they are in Unicode.
I tried to read hebrew-named files and directories from a
vfat-formatted DOK, but default mounting shows question marks instead
of hebrew characters.
I tried to use iocharset option of mount, with the same result.
Windows shows the names properly.
mount -o iocharset=iso8859-8 /dev/sdc /mnt/dok
The "iocharset" mount option chooses which *local* encoding to convert
the names on the disk, and should match your LC_CTYPE value (as shown by
the "locale" command). In all likelyhood, your locale is set to UTF8,
and this is what you need to give iocharset as well.
