Unfortunately that happened several years ago with some elses portable drive - I only noticed the problem when moving the music collection from ext3 to ext4 - the system kept coming up with "not found" messages when attempting to move filenames which had ISOcharacter set accented characters. Fortunately I've managed to rename them using Picard and MusicBrainz - there's far too many to do by hand. This thread was created by someone else with a similar problem - so the solution might be more use to them. I'm curious as to how it happened so I can avoid it in the future though. Especially as I increasingly come across people using the old non-UTF character sets for files. What I should do is create some rules so that when I mount ntfs and fat volumes in the future the problem is avoided... any suggestions'd be appreciated. Cheers -- You know we armed Iraq. I wondered about that too, you know. During the Persian Gulf war, those intelligence reports would come out: "Iraq: incredible weapons – incredible weapons." "How do you know that?"
