Java Desktop System Release 2 Release Notes

1.8.2.1 Removable Media

The file system types FAT and VFAT are typically used for floppy disks, zip drives, and removable hard-disks on Microsoft Windows. The system administrator must configure the mount options codepage and iocharset for these file system types. For example, if you import from Traditional Chinese Windows, the settings must be as shown in the following table to browse the traditional Chinese filenames correctly.
