Description Karl Tomlinson 2012-07-10 04:31:05 UTC

udisks uses "iocharset=utf8" in default mount options for iso9660 and udf filesystems.  This causes the mount to fail when the kernel does not have CONFIG_NLS_UTF8 set (either y or m is fine).

The failure occurs with KDE and nautilus, and the configuration incompatibility is not obvious.
See for example http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-914632-start-0.html

The error message includes "bad option" as a possible cause of the failure, but this is not so helpful as the user is not aware of the iocharset option being used.

Reproducible: Always
