I don't doubt that you can use a bad character in a Linux implementation. Also, the vfat module and dosfsck are not the same piece of software and both read from the drive in completely different ways.
My point is that dosfsck is checking a FAT file system. The problem is not that these characters are allowed in some cases, but as I understand it, not in all cases - that is, under some code-pages those characters are not allowed. Trying to determine the correct code-page for the appropriate file-system is the real issue. Once that has been achieved, then determining which characters are "bad" for that code-page becomes rather more simple. Just arbitrarily allowing any old bad character defeats the process of actually checking the file system. -- Problem in FSCK checking Chinese filename (Big5) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/49217 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
