[BlooD]

hi guys,

i'm completely new to linux, i'm working on gentoo since 5 days but i'm making progress

i got this nice error nearly everybody hear got: no long filenames on dvd/cd-rom devices....

before u ask: i have activated iso9660 and joliet filesystem support in the kernel and i'm 10000% sure that i'm booting from that kernel

copy from my fstab:

/dev/hda1 /boot ext3 noauto,noatime 1 1
/dev/hda3 / reiserfs noatime 0 0
/dev/hda2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/dvd iso9660 noauto,users 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom1 /mnt/brenner iso9660 noauto,users 0 0


plz help me...i could solve so much problems and now this....

so long BlooD

Do you see something like this in dmesg that indicates Joliet support ?

[BlooD]

no isn't there so what do i have to do?

I discovered the solution to this this evening:

In your kernel, you probably need to compile in support for the codepages used by MS in the Joliet filesystem:

File Systems-->
Native Language Support-->
<*> Codepage 437 (United States, Canada)
<*> NLS ISO 8859-1 (Latin 1; Western European Languages)
<*> NLS UTF8

If you read the help on these items it will give you a better explanation, for example:
?CONFIG_NLS_UTF8:
?
? If you want to display filenames with native language characters
? from the Microsoft FAT file system family or from JOLIET CD-ROMs
? correctly on the screen, you need to include the appropriate
? input/output character sets. Say Y here for the UTF-8 encoding of
? the Unicode/ISO9646 universal character set.

Good luck,
David

PS you probably didnt see Joliet in dmesg because you compiled it into the kernel instead of as a module.

ok thx i will try....btw: do i have to change anything in the fstab for using the codepages?


edit: ok i have compiled the kernel and nothing...still the same problem
