Hi all, Check out the Subject of the message. The probably scares everyone off except for Alexander. :-)
And I've now probably pissed him off so badly that I won't get his full attention to this message. However, in hopes that he'll provide what I need here, I think we can put all these differences behind us. Alex, Please provide a way that I can check to see if iocharset/codepage settings work for me. Here is what I know/don't know. 1) First, tell me how I can check the iocharset setting of a mounted device. Please know that I am in a default EN/en locale and don't have a clue how to check for other locales. 2) The iocharset in #1 must not have a bearing on what codepage I may have set (I do understand this is only relevant on older DOS filesystems) 3) The default iocharset/codepage settings on mounted devices are normal for me (iso98859-1 and 437). I do not know what to look for if I change them. This is important for the next items. 4) I want to set the iocharset of a mounted device to something other than my default, and see if it works. 5) I then want to test an older DOS filesystem that requires a different codepage setting than 437 and see if that works. 6) Bottom line is that I'd like to test the stuff I've been saying works but cannot test. Please help me evaluate this. It is easy for me to change the HAL rules and stop/start the daemon to test different settings. I have proven to myself that for settings I can see differences in (e.g., read-only filesystems) everything works. I'd like to confirm that the iocharset/codepage stuff works as well. Now, the iocharset stuff can be put in /etc/fstab via HAL rules, so this is a no-brainer. I just need to know how to check if I'm seeing what I'm supposed to be seeing. The codepage stuff is much different. This is something that I cannot determine by looking at the output of 'mount -v -f' or some other similar command. I need a way to know that when I add -o codepage="somewierdshit' to a mount command, that I can see the change, and that it works. Does this make sense to you, Alex? If so, provide to me what I need to do to test. Or, provide to me what else I need to set up or do so that I can test. In hopes that this clears up some controversy. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 01:14:00 up 100 days, 10:38, 3 users, load average: 1.00, 0.96, 0.67 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
