Recent updates ruined UTF-8 automount

Hi, I just upgraded with pacman -Syu today.

Before the update, my USB external HD would be automatically mounted with the utf-8 charset, but now it is no more mounted that way so I have some un-readable characters in the filenames.

I am not sure which package to be blamed for this change. Please tell me if you have any ideas about this issue.

Thanks smile

Re: Recent updates ruined UTF-8 automount

What program does aumonounting on your system?
HAL, pmount, ivman, udev, autofs, something else?
Did you change something to get automounting to work, or everything worked with default settings?

I am not very sure but it seems that gnome-volume-manager is responsible... but I don't know what is actually doing the job in the background...

Re: Recent updates ruined UTF-8 automount

Hi, although I still don't know what is the reason for this, I have found the solution.

On the mounted device, right-click and choose "Properties". Then, select the "Drive" or "Volume" tab. There is a section called "Settings" at the bottom of the page. I might be hidden so click the triangle on the left of it if it is. There are 3 text input boxes. In "Mount Options", type "iocharset=utf8", then close the dialog. The drive will be mounted with utf8 charset the next time it is mounted.

Hope this helps smile
