Tagged: FAT USB Error write characters
Hi,
trying to write files with special characters (like german umlauts ä, ö, ü) on auto-mounted USB to /media/usb0 leads to errors.
The USB-stick is formatted with fat32.
What Do I have to change to be able to write these files to the USB-stick?
Thank you in advance,
zerbes
EDIT: I tried with NTFS-formatted stick and it worked perfect.
Hi Zerbes,
to use special letters in FAT32 you need to add the iocharset parameter to the usbmount configuration. This is done in file /etc/usbmount/usbmount.conf and the edited line looks like this:
FS_MOUNTOPTIONS="-fstype=vfat,gid=users,uid=pi,iocharset=iso8859-1 \
Thank you for your support!
Using NTFS-formatted stick it worked perfectly, maybe the mentioned parameters could be added in a future max2play-update to also be able to use FAT32-formatted-sticks from scratch? I don’t need it anymore, maybe others need it.
Kind regards
zerbes
