Problems with cyrillic filenames on USB devices

[Wild Rat]

I connect my flashdrive (Fat32) to Usb port of my router (TL-WR1043ND) running Gargoyle 1.5.3 and share it with smb - and all files|folders names thet are not latin shown in random latin names. I hecked - cyrillic packeges are present in firmware.

VFAT needs kernel modules, for each language support.
You can try to run dmesg, to see what language module it needs.
Maybe this should be a feature request, that at least some of the kernel modules get added (but I am not sure of their size).

I have now moved it to feature requests, as I can see that this could be a problem for lots of people.

dmesg didn't show any errors:

i try:

Code: Select all

/root$ opkg install kmod-nls-cp866
Package kmod-nls-cp866 (2.6.32.27-1) installed in root is up to date.
/root$ opkg install kmod-nls-koi8r

/root$ opkg install kmod-nls-cp1251
Package kmod-nls-cp1251 (2.6.32.27-1) installed in root is up to date.

so i sought, that all neaded packeges are present in system.

If i wrong, it whould be nice to have this feature in future versions.

I just checked.
The charset needs to be setup while compiling vfat
By default iso8859-1 is chosen, but when mounting, you can set the charset with the nls= option.
So you should be able to simply add the following to the mount line

Code: Select all

nls=cp866

On NTFS system filenames displayed correctly.

Yes, it looks like it is "only" the vfat filesystem.that has this problem.
