Mount options for vfat
First of all, the mount options for fat are recognized. The dotsOK option is explicitly killed by
vfat. Furthermore, there are
uni_xlate
Translate unhandled Unicode characters to special escaped sequences. This lets you backup
and restore filenames that are created with any Unicode characters. Without this option, a
â?â is used when no translation is possible. The escape character is â:â because it is otherâ
wise illegal on the vfat filesystem. The escape sequence that gets used, where u is the uniâ
code character, is: â:â, (u & 0x3f), ((u>>6) & 0x3f), (u>>12).
posix Allow two files with names that only differ in case.
nonumtail
First try to make a short name without sequence number, before trying name~num.ext.
utf8 UTF8 is the filesystem safe 8-bit encoding of Unicode that is used by the console. It can be
be enabled for the filesystem with this option. If âuni_xlateâ gets set, UTF8 gets disabled.
shortname=[lower|win95|winnt|mixed]
Defines the behaviour for creation and display of filenames which fit into 8.3 characters. If
a long name for a file exists, it will always be preferred display. There are four modes:
lower Force the short name to lower case upon display; store a long name when the short name
is not all upper case.
win95 Force the short name to upper case upon display; store a long name when the short name
is not all upper case.
winnt Display the shortname as is; store a long name when the short name is not all lower
case or all upper case.
mixed Display the short name as is; store a long name when the short name is not all upper
case.
The default is "lower".
