Use the manual, gents!
3 years later, but for reference:
use this command on Linux: man mount Then scroll down to the vfat options: Mount options for vfat First of all, the mount options for fat are recognized. The dotsOK option is explicitly killed by vfat. Further‐ more, there are uni_xlate Translate unhandled Unicode characters to special escaped sequences. This lets you backup and restore file‐ names that are created with any Unicode characters. Without this option, a '?' is used when no translation is possible. The escape character is ':' because it is otherwise illegal on the vfat filesystem. The escape sequence that gets used, where u is the unicode character, is: ':', (u & 0x3f), ((u>>6) & 0x3f), (u>>12). posix Allow two files with names that only differ in case. This option is obsolete. 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 or disabled with utf8=0, utf8=no or utf8=false. If `uni_xlate' 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. This mode is the default. 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. Fat12, Fat16, Fat32 all support case-sensitive names. It's just a text field. |
