Hello, all! After a long thnking i implemented full NLS support for MacHFS filesystem. This is the patch for 2.6.11.1 kernel. Add "iocharset" and "hfscodepage" mount options to fstab for it to work. "hfscodepage" option is also introduced to iso9660 and udf filesystems. They ignore it. Both options are also added to hfsplus filesystem. It also ignores them. This is done in order to enable user to put one line into fstab like: /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660,udf,hfsplus,hfs user,noauto,iocharset=koi8-r,hfscodepage=10007 0 0 This allows you to have one mount point for all CD formats at last. Codepage option is called "hfscodepage", not "codepage" because in future "codepage" option might be added to iso9660 filesystem in order to enable translation of 8-bit names and in many countries ISO codepage differs from HFS codepage. cp10007 nls table is also added by this patch. This codepage is used on russian macintoshes. Some technical details on the implementation: HFS filesystem by nature requires filenames in Mac encoding to be supplied to file search algorythm, otherwise it will not work. So two different algorythms are used depending on used iocharset: a) if iocharset=utf8 - all characters are reverse-convertable in this case. NLS table is loaded for the specified codepage and conversion is done using it. b) if iocharset is not utf8 - not every character can be reverse-translated in this case. To override this two tables are composed on the fly from two supplied NLS pages using a tricky algorythm. A 256 byte table is created and filled with characters taken from NLS->NLS conversion. Those characters from 256-byte destination set which were used are marked. After this all remaining entries in the table (characters which had no equivalent in the destination NLS table) are filled with characters which remained unused. Then resulting table is reversed in order to provide a second table for reverse translation. This implementation is rather tricky and probably sometimes it can fail (i hope it won't, at least i tested it with hfscodepage=10007) so i left a simple possibility to disable conversion by simply removing iocharset and hfscodepage from hfs mount options. -- Kind regards, Pavel Fedin
