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.
Mount Option |
Traditional Chinese Setting |
---|---|
codepage |
950 |
iocharset |
big5 |
Sample entries for /etc/fstab for the Traditional Chinese example are as follows:
/dev/fd0h1440 |
/media/fd0h1440 |
vfat noauto,iocharset=big5,codepage=950 |
/dev/sda1 |
/media/iee1394disk |
vfat noauto,iocharset=big5,codepage=950 |
