Looks like it is a lacking feature in the kernel: it does not perform
any translation on filenames, so if they are in some specific code page
and you want them to show up right on the terminal, then you need to
configure the terminal to display using that code page rather than utf8.

Title:
mount: codepage mapping does not work for msdos fs
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
I want to mount a DOS 5.0 partition without messing it up with LFNs.
According to docs this only works if I use the MSDOS fs instead of
VFAT.
But using MSDOS fails converting non ASCII chars.
If I mount this way:
mount -t vfat -o check=strict,codepage=850,iocharset=iso8859-1,utf8
everything is fine:
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ AßLAR ÄÜÖßÄÜÖ istdaskürzer nochlänger
ABC ÄÜÖÄÜÖ äüößÄÜÖ2 longfilename öööööööööö
If I mount using MSDOS
mount -t msdos -o check=strict,codepage=850
the chars aren't translated at all:
ls shows garbage:
?????? ????? ??????~1 ??????~1 ?????2 abc a?lar istdas~1 longfi~1
nochl?~1
if piped through less, you can see it delivers the cp850 codes.
<8E><9A><99><8E><9A><99>
<8E><9A><99><U+139A><99>
<99><99><99><99><99><99>~1
<8E><8E><8E><8E><8E><8E>~1
<8E><9A><99><U+139A><99>2
abc
a<E1>lar
istdas~1
longfi~1
nochl<8E>~1
Writing filenames directly writes UTF8 codes on the disk (I believe,
not verified)
thanks
