Package: hal Version: 0.5.8.1-4 Severity: normal A USB HDD with a vfat partiton is not mounted with the "utf8" option. Therefore polish diactric characters are displayed as two squares.
Consultation in #hal on freenode suggested that those options are
missing in the <match key="volume.fstype" string="vfat"> section:
<merge key="volume.policy.mount_option.iocharset=utf8"
type="bool">true</merge>
<merge key="volume.policy.mount_option.quiet" type="bool">true</merge>
(Thanks to robtaylor)
The drive is mounted with the following options:
/dev/sdb2 on /media/usbhdd1 type vfat
(rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,user=knt)
(I have an entry for /dev/sdb2 in my /etc/fstab, and I could easily add
"utf8" there, but the problem will reappear if my USB drive will be
remapped to another device)
