You mean by gconf-editor? It is very strange. When I add
"-L=zh_CN.eucCN" to the key, it won't mount any msdosfs anymore.

My bad, yes of course it's with gconf-editor.

I've just tried with -L=fr_FR.ISO8859-15 and also with L=zh_CN.eucCN
and it's still mounting.

$ gconftool-2 --get /system/storage/default_options/vfat/mount_options
[longnames,-u=,large,-L=fr_FR.ISO8859-15]

from my /var/log/messages:
Sep 19 23:15:25 FreeGnome kernel: GEOM_LABEL: Label for provider da0s1
is msdosfs/JETDISK.
Sep 19 23:15:31 FreeGnome gnome-keyring-daemon[1724]: adding removable
location: volume_uuid_33D4_B30C at /usr/home/media/JETDISK___

$ mount|grep msdosfs
/dev/msdosfs/JETDISK on /usr/home/media/JETDISK__ (msdosfs, local, nosuid)

I'm not sure what's going on in your case sorry. You could try to
report your problem at freebsd-gnome@ mailing list but read
http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/halfaq.html#q4 before.

Don't know if it makes a difference but I use gnome 2.23.92.

PS: the default mount_option is [longnames, -u=]

Thanks.

Dear all,

I want to use hal to auttomount the windows fat32 partition with
gnome. after setting gnome_enable="YES", hal automount it, but there
is a problem. hal seems to execute "mount_msdosfs /dev/xxx
/mountpoint", so the encoding is not handled correctly.
If I mount it manually, it should be "mount_msdosfs -D=CP936
-L=zh_CN.eucCN /dev/xxx /mountpoint". So my question is how to set the
things right? I think I need to modify some fdi files, but just can
not figure out.

You need to add '-L=zh_CN.eucCN' in
/system/storage/default_options/vfat/mount_options with gedit.
I use this key to add '-o large' to mount correctly my msdosfs
partition of 500GB and it works.

Hope this helps


Thanks in advance. Best
