It is rare to use a USB drive in a Linux system, but recently a friend discovered that files on the USB drive appeared garbled when loading the device in Linux. What should be done? Many friends are not very familiar with Linux and do not know how to operate it. Don’t worry, let me tell you how to solve it.
Easy Solutions for USB Garbled Files in Linux:
1. Generally, use this command:
mount -o iocharset=utf8 /dev/sdb /tmp/fat2. If that doesn’t work, you can try the following commands:
mount /dev/sdb /mnt -t vfat -o codepage=936,iocharset=utf8mount /dev/sdb /mnt -t vfat -o iocharset=utf8mount /dev/sdb /mnt -t vfat -o codepage=936,iocharset=gb2312mount /dev/sdb /mnt -t vfat -o codepage=936,iocharset=gbkmount /dev/sdb /mnt -t vfat -o codepage=936,iocharset=gb180303. You can also try the following method:
Open the Gnome configuration editor, under “System” – “Preferences”, select “system” and then open “storage”. Find the key below (similar to the Windows registry, modify the key value): default_options. This key has several common file systems, such as CD-ROM and NTFS. Generally, USB drives are FAT, so find Vfat, open it, double-click the key name on the right, and a modification box will pop up. Click “Add” and enter: iocharset=utf8 in the edit box. After confirming, exit to make it effective.
Due to unfamiliarity with the Linux system, any small issue can leave users at a loss, not knowing how to resolve it. I hope the three simple methods above can help users easily solve the problem of garbled files on USB drives in Linux.
