Problems with fstab

Hi

I have two other HDD's in my PC besides my main HDD where Arch is installed. One these drives is used for music and the other for video. My fstab file looks as follows

#
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file system>        <dir>         <type>    <options>          <dump> <pass>
none                   /dev/pts      devpts    defaults            0      0
none                   /dev/shm      tmpfs     defaults            0      0

/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom   iso9660   ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0
/dev/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1   iso9660   ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0
/dev/dvd /mnt/dvd   udf   ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0
/dev/dvd1 /mnt/dvd1   udf   ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/fd0   vfat   user,noauto   0      0
/dev/sda1 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sda2 / ext3 defaults 0 1
/dev/sda3 /home ext3 defaults 0 1
/dev/sdc1 /media/disk ext3 defaults 0 1
/dev/sdb1 /media/disk-1 ext3 defaults 0 1

Now some of the files on disk on disk-1 have filenames that include characters like ä, ö and ♀. How do I set up fstab so these files are displayed correctly? At the moment I see just some strange characters where the æ,å,ø and etc. should be.

Regards

André

PS. All these files where displayed correctly under Ubuntu 7.10 which I was using before I switched to Archlinux.

Re: Problems with fstab

fstab isn't the problem. It's your console.

Use unicode, e.g. in /etc/rc.conf

LOCALE="en_GB.utf8"

See wiki.
