[Bug 13575] Re: NTFS-fs error (device sdaX): ntfs_ucstonls(): Unicode name contains characters that cannot be converted to character set cp437

[Colin Watson]

I've made the installer set UTF-8 by default now, so at least new installations of dapper will be fine. I don't think we can really change this on upgrades.

partman-basicfilesystems (46ubuntu3) dapper; urgency=low

  * Mount FAT with iocharset=utf8; see previous comment about NTFS.

partman-basicfilesystems (46ubuntu2) dapper; urgency=low

  * Mount FAT and NTFS filesystems at boot (fstab pass 1).
  * Mount NTFS with nls=utf8, which is always correct for Ubuntu systems and
    avoids files going missing due to their names containing unconvertable
    characters (suggestion from Malone bug #25071).
  * Mount FAT and NTFS with umask=007,gid=46 (static group plugdev), so that
    users can easily be given privileges to read/write mounted Windows
    filesystems, and so that the first user can do so automatically (closes:
    Malone #8048, #25071).
