    Hi,

    trying to write files with special characters (like german umlauts ä, ö, ü) on auto-mounted USB to /media/usb0 leads to errors.

    The USB-stick is formatted with fat32.

    What Do I have to change to be able to write these files to the USB-stick?

    Thank you in advance,

    zerbes

    EDIT: I tried with NTFS-formatted stick and it worked perfect.

    Hi Zerbes,

    to use special letters in FAT32 you need to add the iocharset parameter to the usbmount configuration. This is done in file /etc/usbmount/usbmount.conf and the edited line looks like this:

    FS_MOUNTOPTIONS="-fstype=vfat,gid=users,uid=pi,iocharset=iso8859-1 \

    Thank you for your support!

    Using NTFS-formatted stick it worked perfectly, maybe the mentioned parameters could be added in a future max2play-update to also be able to use FAT32-formatted-sticks from scratch? I don’t need it anymore, maybe others need it.

    Kind regards

    zerbes
