filename encoding problems on ubuntu 12.04.4 / exfat 1.0.1

[thilo....@gmail.com]

Hi,

I've setup exFAT using the PPA and everything seems to work quite well. But recently I noticed I can not create files containing "?" etc.
I tried to mount using all possible iocharset and nls options and utf8,utf16 combinations like:

mount -t exfat /dev/sdc2 /media/usb2 -o uid=1000,gid=1000,nls=utf8,dmask=027,fmask=137

but nothing seems to work..

Anyone noticed something similar?

Regards

This was made intentionally for compatibility with Windows.

fuse-exfat does not support iocharset or nls options. It always uses
UTF-16 internally and UTF-8 externally.

Ok. Is there a list of characters to avoid somewhere?

You can google this information, search for example for "file names
characters to avoid".

This won't give you the definite list implemented in the exfat module,
but it may be even more helpful if you care which characters to avoid
for cross platform compatibility, in case exfat doesn't avoid all of them...

Best regards,

I took the list of prohibited characters from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExFAT
If you wish to look at code the filter is in is_allowed() function.
