Hi,
I am experiencing serious problems with my external HD, I�can't create/write filenames containing accented chars, especially when copying music from my amarok collection (as you can guess a lor of brazilian, french and italian�music has plenty of accented chars in filenames).

Is it a locale problem? I have got all locales installed, my default is it_IT@euro. Tried with utf8 and others with no success.

Any suggestion is appreciated.
RegardsRaffaele

Did you also try experimenting with the utf8 and charset options when
mounting the drive?

Please specify *at least*:

- kernel version (uname -a)
- mount helper used or mount options
- the output of 'cat /proc/mounts' after mounting the drive
- the output of 'locale'

What filesystem is the external HD?

Tried both with ext3 (first) and fat32 (now)*

mounting the drive?

no, I've always mounted the drive using dolphin*
