+ <p>
+ Mounting vfat, ntfs or iso9660 filesystems with files that include
+ non-ASCII characters in their filenames will give failures when one
+ tries to use the filenames unless mounting is done with the utf8
+ option. An indication might be the following failure: 'Invalid or
+ incomplete multibyte or wide character'. A possible solution is to
+ use defaults,utf8 as mount options for vfat, ntfs and iso9660
+ filesystems when they contain filenames with non-ASCII characters.
