    [PATCH] FAT: kill nls default · a5cd4546
    Hirofumi Ogawa authored
    Previously, fatfs was using NLS_DEFAULT if users didn't specify the
    codepage or iocharset option.  This became cause of trouble (filename
    access).
    
    This patch removes the complicated default config in kernel.
    
    Instead of it, by default, fatfs uses builtin nls ("default"), also reports
    it and mounts as read-only.  This default will limit the access more or
    less.  Note: If peoples want to write on this default, it still can switch
    by remount.
    
    Therefore, basically users will need to specify mount options always.
    ("codepage" for msdos, and "codepage" and "iocharset" for vfat) However, it
    can be done simply by script or shell alias or something else in userland.
    
    Thanks to Andries Brouwer for your many advice.
