Ah, ok. The fs drivers are part of the kernel. So it's a kernel bug.
Sorry, my mistake.

btw: of course Dolphin shows the exact same as the terminal does. This

Looks like it is a lacking feature in the kernel: it does not perform
any translation on filenames, so if they are in some specific code page
and you want them to show up right on the terminal, then you need to

Docs is the man page. Are there any other docs?
The MSDOS fs does not allow neither the utf8 flag nor the iocharset= option.

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.

According to docs this only works if I use the MSDOS fs instead of VFAT.
But using MSDOS fails converting non ASCII chars.
