[JPTTEST <j-p-t@xxxxxxx>]

Public bug reported:

I want to mount a DOS 5.0 partions without messing it up with LFNs.

According to docs this only works if I use the MSDOS fs instead of VFAT.

But using MSDOS fails converting non ASCII chars.

If I mount this way:
mount -t vfat  -o check=strict,codepage=850,iocharset=iso8859-1,utf8
everything is fine:
ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ  AßLAR   ÄÜÖßÄÜÖ   istdaskürzer  nochlänger
ABC         ÄÜÖÄÜÖ  äüößÄÜÖ2  longfilename  öööööööööö

If I mount using MSDOS
mount -t msdos -o check=strict,codepage=850
the chars aren't translated at all:
ls shows garbage:
??????  ?????  ??????~1  ??????~1  ?????2  abc  a?lar  istdas~1  longfi~1  nochl?~1

if piped through less, you can see it delivers the cp850 codes.
