Japanese/Russian files won't show up [Solved]

I have a ntfs formatted drive I'm trying to pull data off, which is working fine except that there are a few important files with japanese and russian filenames that it won't detect at all. I've configured UTF8 as best as I can tell, but I just need to get the system to where it'll read these files along with all the other latin files. Any ideas?

hmm, i know this problem. try remounting with

mount -o remount,rw,iocharset=utf8,codepage=932 /dev/[ntfs drive] /path/to/mount

mount's manpage should help. codepage=932 is for japanese filenames, i don't know what the number is for russian (you can google it).

Mounting with utf8=true fixed the problem, thanks tardo!
