7 This I am not sure how to work with. As far as the manpage goes,
8 the 'iocharset' option only makes sense when mounting Joliet extended
9 iso9660 discs (since Joliet gives a filename mapping into unicode, the
10 iocharset option specifies how to translate the unicode filenames into
11 your current operating charset). This seems to suggest that the way
12 you used the 'iocharset' option is the opposite of what you intended.
13
14 Google suggests that some people have tried mounting iso9660
15 filesystems with the 'codepage' options (see the vfat section of
16 man mount), but AFAICT from the documentation, the codepage option for
17 iso9660 has been talked about on LKML in 2005 but not implemented.
18
19 It might be possible to read the disc properly if you run a kernel
20 with the default NLS set to cp1251 (I think that CLE linux, a Chinese
21 based fork of redhat, used that trick and set the default NLS to big5,
22 allowing them to read vfat and iso9660 filesystems without specifying
23 iocharset and/or codepage options), but to be honest, I don't know how
24 to work with your problem, so take my suggestions with a relatively
25 large grain of NaCl.

27 Best of luck,
