Hello!
This is my first message that i post this site .
I am one of your FC4 users and use FC4 inside windows XP (I am biginner in linux)
my native language is Persian(./Kurdish) and I have a problem with Persian name of files in vaft partitions that i mounted those with this code in fstab file: /dev/hdb1 /mnt/C vfat noouto,users,exec,umask=000 0 0
when I try to creat a folder or file with Persian script recieve this message:
The item can not be renamed
sorry, couldn't rename the ...
*Note:in ext3 partitions i havn't this problem and creat folder with persian name easier and more beutiful than XP (with select suitable font)
for SADID:
sometimes this could indicate that there is a hidden/invisable character in the name (could be a control code). This invisiable character is not showing on the CTR or LCD screen but is there. Try removeing the entry using single character wild card "?" e.g. rm my?name or rm myna?me
Be careful with the * wild card character that is commonly called star since you could wipe out more than you wanted and could damage the system badly.
Always check your permissons and ownership.
Hope this helps

life is one day at a time
Thank You Paul
i can create a folder with Persian script in linux partitions my problem accrued in fat32 partitions
is this(invisible character) mean that i can't create a folder with Persian script in fat32 partitions? or if error accrued for this invisible character why havn't this problem in ext3 partitions?
--i havn't NTFS partitions.
The above post is correct using the expanded character set. Also that's /etc/fstab
For Your Information (FYI) fstab means fs=File System tab=table or put together "file system table" if my brain remembers correctly :>)
You'll have to dig out the documentation to work with /etc/fstab
The control codes or invisable character usually become a problem by typographical errors made with the key board. When one enters the Shift key and by mistake also the "ctrl" key at the same time: the error is produced. However, you can not see the error on the CRT or LCD screen because it's invisable or not displayed.
One way to see any control codes is to cut and paste the text into a file and then do an octal dump. The dump (see program named "od" in documentation) will show the characters in octal and one can interpret the control code (invisable characters)as they are shown in octal.
Errors cause by invisable characters are usually one-time-happenings that do not usually repeat themselves in other documents. So this may not be a solution to the problem as noted.
