ntfs-3g locale / kde automount?

Hi there! If I plug in my external usb ntfs hdd, an icon shows up and it is automounted.

I can read and write, but can not see or create files with special characters (e.g. äöü).

If I set "Filesystem specific mount options" to "UTF8" in dolphin the problem persists.

My internal ntfs drives (that are mounted by fstab even without the locale=... mount option) work fine.

What can I do to change that? Am using Kubuntu Gutsy.

And what automounts my drive in KDE? Ist ist the Media Manager, HAL, ...?

The following solution from the archlinux wiki works great:

Quoted

1) Remove the "/sbin/mount.ntfs-3g" which is a symlink. code: rm /sbin/mount.ntfs-3g
2) Replace it with a new bash script containing

Source code

 
1
2

#!/bin/bash
/bin/ntfs-3g $1 "$2" -o locale=en_US.UTF-8,$4 #put your own locale here

3) Make it executable: chmod +x /sbin/mount.ntfs-3g
