Cannot mount usb memory with correct filesystem encoding
How can I mount an SD card (via USB card reader) to have a specific
filename encoding on Ubuntu Feisty 7.04? My laptop is UTF-8, but the
SD card in my Nokia 6288 seems to be CP1255 or ISO-8859-8. The Hebrew
filenames show up as question marks, not letters. So if on the Nokia I
make three directories on the card:
EnglishDir
ת××§××××¢×ר×ת
×¢×××××2
Then this is what I see on my laptop:
EnglishDir
???????????
??????2
What mount command should I use? I read man mount and I see no mention
of encodings. The card is Fat32, formated by me on a windows machine.
$ sudo mount -o codepage=1225,iocharset=iso8859-8,utf8 -t vfat
/dev/sdb1 /media/usb
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

Might I need to install codepage cp1225? Is that something
installable? Thanks in advance.

- Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
- Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
