Bug Description

Edubuntu 7.10, LTSP thin client
When mounting USB stick containing files with names in Russian, cyrillic letters appear as '???'.
To solve this I modified /opt/ltsp/i386/lib/udev/add_fstab_entry as follows:
in line
echo "/dev/${DEVICENAME} ${MOUNTPOINT} ${FSTYPE} defaults 0 0" >> ${FSTAB}

changed 'defaults' to 'iocharset=utf8'.

1. 'utf8' instead of 'iocharset=utf8' works too.

2. The solution above doesn't work for CDs, when inserting one in client's drive a line appears in /var/run/ltspfs_fstab with 'defaults' instead of 'utf8'.

thats very likely coming from the cdpinger program on the client. CDs dont have a kernel event for loading unloading media, so we cant monitor it from udev properly. it nedds an external program (gnome uses gnome-volume-manager for that for example). have a look at the manage_fstab() function in /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/sbin/cdpinger

theanks for this report btw, we'll add your fix to teh next upload in hardy ...
