For example, take one of my files "Y Tú Qué Has Hecho.mp3", when the device is automounted, the mount options: rw,nosuid,nodev,uid=520,utf8,shortname=mixed,flush The file lists as: Y Tú Qué Has Hecho.mp3 After a lot of google searches and trial and errors I found that the mount options rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,flush,uid=520,codepage=437,shortname=mixed resulted in the correct characters displayed. I have been unable to find how to change the mount options to the ones that work for me, all my google searches didn't produce anything useful. In addition, my locale is en_US. The same problem occurs in 11.1 with KDE4. I do not understand how character encoding works in the filesystems in my desktop computer. I only know that I can set filenames with accented characters and they display fine. When I try to copy these files to removable devices, it fails when accented characters are present. It also causes problems if one wants to keep the files in the disk and the device synchronized with rsync.
