In the hotplug package there is a /usr/sbin/checkhotmounts file which adds strings in /etc/fstab when a new device is detected. I live in Russia and there is a problem with KOI8-R and CP1251 encodings - if I mount a Windows hdd, I have to specify 'iocharset=koi8-r,copepage=866'. The same thing is with USB-drives my friends carry to me. So I added these options to checkhotmounts. I suggest to make an /etc/sysconfig/hotplug file option iocharset and codepage for hotplug devices.
Thank you!
I have forwarded this to our hotplug expert, he replied that this is a
good idea and he will implement something like that for the next
version of SuSE Linux.
