hi all, i´m using fc2 with standard kernel 2.6.7-1.494.2.2. in my ofrfice setting i have to mount windows shares via cifs and my ms compatible vfat partition for data storage. with fc2 standard kernel 2.6.6 everything went fine with display names of files when mounting cifs or vfat. now with the new kernel german umlaute (ä,ü) are corrupted in vfat. after googling i changed the line in /etc/sysconfig/i18n to #LANG="de_DE.UTF-8" #LANG="de_DE@euro" LANG="de_DE" now vfat mounts correctly display filenames but cifs mounts are coruppted. with LANG="de_DE.UTF-8" it vice versa. do you have any hints what changed with the 2.6.7 kernel?? or how to correctly mount cifs AND vfat?? thanx a lot christoph -- dipl.-ing. christoph kunz fraunhofer institut fuer arbeitswirtschaft und organisation competence center softwaretechnik nobelstrasse 12 d-70569 stuttgart germany fon: +49 (0)711 - 970 2314 fax: +49 (0)711 - 970 2300 mail: christoph.kunz@xxxxxxxxxx icq#: 49335597 web: http://www.iao.fhg.de pgp#: 12AF7964@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
