ntfs3g no longer works with "locale=" option

Created attachment 166312 [details] [review] gnome-mount-0.8-ntfs3g-locale.patch As seen in Release notes: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.ntfs-3g.devel/672 STABLE Version 2009.1.1 (January 22, 2009) – Release Notes New: Built-in, transparent UTF-8 conversion support. This solves all the problems, described here, and even more with hidden and inaccessible filenames having national characters. New: Support getting/setting the file creation timestamp on OS X. Fix: An extended attribute got corrupted if the new attribute size was smaller than the original size. Fix: Memory leaked if an extended attribute or alternate data stream couldn’t be opened. Fix: Report an error if a filename can not be listed during reading a directory. Change: The ‘locale=’ mount option is not used anymore for filename characterset conversion. Instead filenames are always converted to UTF-8.
"gnome-mount" will not see active development anymore according to its developers (as HAL is also dead). Closing this report as WONTFIX - Please feel free to reopen this bug report in the future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
