[SOLVED] Fat32 vs Accents

[Gyscos]

Hello there !
I've got a Fat32 partition with lot of music on it, that was put there from windows.
And, of course, like any non-english people, I'm using dangerous amounts of accents in file names...

But now I'm using gentoo and I'd like to access this stuff...

A little more information :
I'm using utf8 locale.
I can create new files/folders with accents in it.
I can't edit old files with accents.
(I guess new files use utf8, wich is good, while old files use windows1258, wich is bad...)

I tried the iocharset=utf8 or just utf8 flags in fstab, with no noticeable change.

A hexdump tells me it is using 0xe9 to store "é", wich confirms the use of windows1258 encoding...

I googled and all but I can't seem to find an answer - everyone succeeded with the iocharset=utf8, yet it doesn't work for me

Any idea what I might do ?
Thanks !

EDIT : interesting thing I just discovered : I've got a running ftp server, and some files from the fat partitions are shared through it. When I go to ftp://localhost with firefox, I can see the accents, it works perfectly.
But when I connect to the server with filezilla, the files simply don't appear...

SOLUTION : enable in kernel filesystems/native language/windows cp 1250

I've mdae good experiences with app-text/convmv-1.10

Well, at first, you should have a look into your kernel configuration.
Filesystem section / Native language support subsection.
There, you should check wether CP1250 is activated or not.
If it is not, you should activate the support for this codepage.
From what you say, I think that your fat is a FAT32 and I think that windows used this codepage for filenames.
While you are there, you can activate NLS-ISO8859-1 and NLS-ISO8859-15
I do not think these two last will help you in your "problème présent" however, you might need them on day.
Then go to the :
DOS-FAT-NT Filesystems section
And check the Default isocharset for FAT.
In your specific case, Iso8859-1 or 15 are good solutions

xD
Thanks, the trick was the File systems/native language/windows cp1250...

Recompiling now... hope it works !

EDIT : yeah, worked
