ntfs-3g gets confused by LC_*="POSIX"

[Ivan Iakoupov <voxiac@gmail.com>]

mount.ntfs-3g uses system locale in absence of "locale=blah" argument and since LC_*="POSIX" gets exported during boot, directories and files using Danish characters (generally non-ASCII characters?) are missing.

Simple remount makes them show up again (as passing locale argument to mount.ntfs-3g probably) but baselayout-1 had exported the locale that I had set for my system during boot and thus it was not needed.

You should set locale somewhere in /etc/env.d
Most people seem to use /etc/env.d/02locale

[Ivan Iakoupov <voxiac@gmail.com>]

I think my /etc/env.d/02locale is good enough:

LC_ALL=en_GB.UTF-8
LANG=en_GB.UTF-8

What am I missing?

OK, this seems to be a bug. I'll try and fix it this week.

This also happens to me with vdr that should inherit the LANG and LC_* settings.

It seems to me that env_filter does load /e

Browser submitted accidentely :(

Analysis:
It seems that env_filter does load /etc/profile.env, but does not do anything with it then.

[Matthias Schwarzott <zzam@gentoo.org>]

One workaround would be some shell-code like this in the init-script. (Maybe conditional on using openrc):

eval $(grep "export \(LANG\|LC_\)" /etc/profile.env)

Or: Letting the user specify LANG in /etc/conf.d/app

Fixed - sorry about the delay.
