I'm not sure what documentation you are referring to or what you are
actually trying to report.  As you noted, you must use the utf8 option
to have the names translated correctly instead of being left in cp850.

Title:
  mount: codepage mapping does not work for msdos fs

Status in util-linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I want to mount a DOS 5.0 partition 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.

  <8E><9A><99><8E><9A><99>
  <8E><9A><99><U+139A><99>
  <99><99><99><99><99><99>~1
  <8E><8E><8E><8E><8E><8E>~1
  <8E><9A><99><U+139A><99>2
  abc
  a<E1>lar
  istdas~1
  longfi~1
  nochl<8E>~1

  Writing filenames directly writes UTF8 codes on the disk (I believe,
  not verified)

  thanks
