If a Windows partition exists on the local hard disk when you install the Java Desktop System, the installer software automatically mounts the partition. The installer software also sets the value of the iocharset option or the nls option in /etc/fstab to the correct value for the UTF-8 and zh_CN.gb18030 locales.
If you mount the partition manually, or if you mount the partition in other locales, you must configure particular mount options to browse multibyte file or directory names correctly. You must set the options as shown in the following table:

If you use the zh_TW.big5 or zh_HK.big5hkscs locales, use big5 instead of utf8 for the nls and iocharset options.
Sample entries for /etc/fstab for the Japanese UTF-8 locale are as follows:
/dev/sda1 |
/windows/C |
ntfs ro,users,gid=users,umask=0002,nls=utf8 0 0 |
/dev/sda2 |
/windows/C |
vfat users,gid=users,umask=0002,iocharset=utf8,codepage=932 |
