You are looking for something like

Code:

 mount_ntfs /dev/ad0 /mnt/windows

...where you replace /dev/ad0 with the NTFS partition or disk (you didn't give info on your disks)
...and replace /mnt/windows with a valid folder (create a folder where the filesystem will be mounted)
...and I suppose you don't want write access to the NTFS disk!

After all info is availiable you take this command and plug it inside your /etc/fstab file so that the system will automount the NTFS disk/partition and have it ready for you to access.

You should look at the FreeBSD handbook ALWAYS. We have the opportunity as BSD users, others don't

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO885 ... ation.html
It has a specific section for the russian language.

Also check this thread, it's about incorporating the greek language. With some modifications you will be able to convert it to be used for the russian language. The last post contains the full solution to my problem.

In fstab i've got

# Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass#
/dev/ad1s1b none swap sw 0 0
/dev/ad1s1a / ufs rw 1 1
/dev/ad0s1 /mnt/ad0s1 ntfs rw,noauto 0 0
/dev/ad0s2 /mnt/ad0s2 auto rw,noauto 0 0
/dev/ad1s2 /mnt/ad1s2 auto rw,noauto 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/fd0 auto rw,noauto 0 0
/dev/cd0 /mnt/cdrom0 auto ro,noauto 0 0

/dev/ad0s1 /mnt/ad0s1 ntfs rw,noauto 0 0 --- my NTFS hdd.
What I must change to see RUSSIAN lang on NTSD hdd.

To see Russian file names on mounted filesystems I was ever using following options (assuming instead of "rw", use "ro" or add "noauto" if necessary):
rw,longnames,-Wkoi2dos,-Lru_RU.KOI8-R
However, for FAT32 partitions it seems more correct to use:
rw,longnames,-Lru_RU.KOI8-R,-Dcp866
and I'm not sure you need -W or -D option for CDROM or NTFS
And one important note: to make this conversion work, you should have LIBICONV option enabled (and compiled) in your kernel.

Fonts problems:
It seems installing of Windows fonts solves the issue at least on the 1.3(see PBI provided by Charles).
However, I'm still looking into the issue and sure it could be solved even without MS

So, there are still fonts problems?

This was working in the beginning of the year...
Does some one know if this is an encoding issue or a fonts problem?

Apatewna · #6 10-28-2006, 05:00 PM

Has anyone followed this thread?

I have solved all my font encoding problems in KDE, Samba shares, FAT32 disks, console.

I found how make in in Konsole.
Use mount comand.
mount_ntfs -C KOI8-R /dev/ad1s2 /mnt/ad1s2 Sps

to Apatewna.
How can i made shortcat for it or write it in fstab ???

I'VE MADE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
# Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass#
/dev/ad1s1b none swap sw 0 0
/dev/ad1s1a / ufs rw 1 1
/dev/ad0s1 /mnt/ad0s1 ntfs rw,noauto,-C=KOI8-R 0 0
/dev/ad0s2 /mnt/ad0s2 auto rw,noauto 0 0
/dev/ad1s2 /mnt/ad1s2 ntfs rw,noauto,-C=KOI8-R 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/fd0 auto rw,noauto 0 0
/dev/cd0 /mnt/cdrom0 auto ro,noauto 0 0

If some one canwrite AUTO CodePage script for fstab, plz made it. Becouse its sex for user to correctlu mount NTFS with Russian Codepage.

Does it work with UTF-8? Because PC-BSD uses UTF-8 as default character set... If we use other character sets, it may display squares instead of characters in some applications...

Kronos · #9 11-03-2006, 04:35 PM

One moment.
Yes it's worked.
In fstab i've got /dev/ad0s1 /mnt/ad0s1 ntfs rw,noauto,-C=UTF-8 0 0 and can see Russian folders and open files.

How about writing to the NTFS HDD =))) I'cant write information on me NTFS HDD. Why ?

I didn't touch the fstab and I can still see greek filenames, you've read my i18n thread.

The NTFS writing support has been released to the public about two months ago. The authors claim they have thoroughly tested the driver over three years in various NTFS setups and it came clean, no problem detected.

I don't know if the support for NTFS-writing has been ported to FreeBSD. I wouldn't mind since I either follow the practice of having a FAT32 partition to exchange data between windows and *nix or simply keep windows for games and *nix for the real work, so no actual data transfer is required.
