:: Files with names in foreign languages becomes invisible

This is probably a bug in old version of ntfs-3g, which has been already corrected,but might still interest some people using old systems.

I have a removable disk, with files whose names contain some foreign characters(accentuated letters, wide alphabets, Japanese letters and so on). There is noproblem if I connect it to a machine with recent systems. However, when I connectit to my old Kubuntu 8.04, these files become invisible. The solution I found wasextremely simple. It suffices to unmount and remount "by hand", that is it. That is, after unmounting using Konqueror,

sudo mkdir /mnt/test
sudo mount /dev/sdi1 /mnt/test

Here you can choose the mount point as you like, and replace /dev/sdi1 with thecorrect path to your media.
