Hi Andrei, Sorry for the slow reply. I hadn't forgotten you, I've just been really busy. > Now I see a few dozen directories and files whose names have "?" as a prefix, > and I'm getting "file <filename> not found" if I try to copy them. OK, that sounds like a filename translation problem. > Is there anything I can do to track what's going on ? Yes, have a look in the system log for anything ntfs-related /var/log/message (you may need to be root to read this file). > pretty much all of these files have russian names - can it be > something related to charset for examples ? All filenames in NTFS are stored in Unicode. The driver will try to squeeze these names into ASCII. If it can't, normally it would ignore them completely. Try mounting the partition as UTF8: mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows -t ntfs -r -o iocharset=utf8 This character set will be able to represent all the Cyrillic characters. Alternatively, using the KOI (something) set might work/ Hope this helps, FlatCap (Rich) nt...@fl... |
