My first guess is FAT corruption (maybe windows reads second copy of |
| 22 |
FAT?). Maybe try to do chkdsk from windows, or make a backup first |
| 23 |
from there anyway. :) |

My second guess is character encoding differences, but usually it |
| 26 |
would not be so extreme. I mount vfat with options |
| 27 |
codepage=437,iocharset=utf8 and it seems to usually give me proper |
| 28 |
results for "international" filenames (although mount warns me every |
| 29 |
time that this is unwise). |
