[Bug 199165] [NEW] Automounting removable storage doesn't always honour the utf8 mount option

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I often have to mount flash drives having russian symbols in file names.
KDE4 doesn't seem to honour the utf8 mount option always.

This is an example of an incorrectly mounted one (This SD card is mounted through WM5Storage from a wm based pda)
/dev/sdi1 on /media/!SD type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000)

And here's the same card inserted into the cardreader:

/dev/sdd1 on /media/!SD type vfat (ro,nosuid,nodev,noatime,flush,uid=1000,utf8,shortname=lower 
(everything OK)

However, on a different SD card the same charset problem happens while inserted into the cardreader as well as the pda.
The removable flash drives also seem to differ: some mount OK, with proper charset, some without. I still cannot figure out what affects it.

A simple 512mb flash stick:
/dev/sdi1 on /media/ya_flashko type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000) (same here)

Here are the dmesg outputs:

Now I used ivman (don't use it to mount - just to run scripts) to get the hal debug messages for all three test cases
(Will attach them in a separate file since they're quite long)
