OK, I finally got some more time to spend on this, and I'll give all
info again, just in case anyone can help.
gnome-volume-manager kind-of works! When I insert a usb storage drive,
I get this message in /var/log/messages:
[Attached scsi disk blah...]
Feb 9 14:48:31 orpheus FAT: utf8 is not a recommended IO charset for
FAT filesystems, filesystem will be case sensitive!
Feb 9 14:48:31 orpheus Unable to load NLS charset utf8
Feb 9 14:48:31 orpheus FAT: IO charset utf8 not found
But when I mount the drive manually:
sudo mount /dev/sdd1 /mnt/tmp
or
sudo mount -o codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1 /dev/sdd1 /mnt/tmp/
it mounts fine, gnome-volume-manager detects that I've mounted it and
opens a window in the "root" folder of the drive (/mnt/tmp).
So why doesn't it do it automatically? I tried building the module
nls_utf8. When I load the module and plug in the
drive, /var/log/messages now shows:
Feb 7 22:07:18 orpheus FAT: utf8 is not a recommended IO charset for
FAT filesystems, filesystem will be case sensitive!
but the drive still mounts...
This doesn't seem to be the right way to go, as I can mount the drive
_without_ nls_utf8, but gnome-volume-manager can't...
thanks for any comments!
