Well, here you go.
"conv=auto"
This is a nasty parameter to set. Read "man mount".
" Programs that do computed lseeks won't like in-ker�
nel text conversion. Several people have had their
data ruined by this translation. Beware!"
You've been warned.
And you can estimate to be lucky, the man page tells about losses of data !
I guess it confuses kfm - ok, it shouldn't, but kfm is out already
and its rewrite (konqueror) doesn't do it, so it's sort of already fixed.
Why is conv=auto set ? Is this a Mandrake default ? (Yeah, I should
now, but I don't !)
