Package: mount
Version: 2.13.1.1-1
Severity: important


  Hello,

  Unlike what is said in mount(1), mount now mounts VFAT filesystems
with iocharset=utf8. This is *very bad*, as it is not supported by the
kernel:

[ 9239.043602] FAT: utf8 is not a recommended IO charset for FAT filesystems, filesystem will be case sensitive!

  It can lead to severe filesystem corruption (see for instance
#443514, and the thourough analysis in bug #500540, which I think
might be due to this one).

  This is apparently not linked to the locale: 
$ LC_ALL=en_GB.iso88591 mount /dev/sdc /mnt && tail -n1 /proc/mounts 
/dev/sdc /mnt vfat rw,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,allow_utime=177777,codepage=cp437,iocharset=utf8 0 0
$ LC_ALL=C mount /dev/sdc /mnt && tail -n1 /proc/mounts
/dev/sdc /mnt vfat rw,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,allow_utime=177777,codepage=cp437,iocharset=utf8 0 0

  This *must* be fixed quickly. I'm sincerely tempted to tag this as
serious or even grave as for #500540, and this is stopping me from
fixing #443514 properly.

  Regards,

	Vincent
