Need help on /etc/fstab

i explain my problem:
i'm french and in my country we often use letter like é è à etc .. ( codepage=850,iocharset=iso8859-15 )
and some of my file/directory in /dev/md4 mounted on /shares/internal coutain those letter
i would like to see them correctly ( in exemple on vsftpd rather than é i see é )

i have think i had to modify the fstab adding the codepage and iocharset but when i do that the filesystem is not recognised so i think EXT3 can't works with he options codepage or iocharset…

how can i do to have my files with the correct name ?

here is my current /etc/fstat

1. /etc/fstab: static file system information.

#

1. <file system> <mount pt> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>

/dev/root / ext3 rw,noauto,noatime 0 1
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts defaults,gid=5,mode=620 0 0
sys /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
/dev/md2 none swap defaults 0 0
/dev/md3 /var ext3 defaults,noatime 0 2
/dev/md4 /shares/internal ext3 defaults,noatime 0 2
/dev/sdc1 /shares/internal/HDD-USB/ vfat rw,uid=33,gid=33,fmask=0111,dmask=0022,codepage=850,iocharset=iso8859-15 0 2

thanks for all your help

just another question :

someone can post his ORGINAL FSTAB ?

cos i have on mine :
/dev/md2 none swap defaults 0 0
and when i check i see
Mounting /dev/md2 on none failed: No such file or directory
dunno if it's correct or no

- a swap partition is not supposed to be mounted ;-).

- concerning your accents chars problem, I think it's not in fstab that you should change charset : external devices are hotplugged and mounted without fstab.

I suggest to have a look in /etc/hotplug/mount-external-drive, and try to add codepage and iocharset to FATMOUNTOPTIONS var.

Here's my original /etc/fstab file (from 500 Gb WDMBWE)

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

my problems is on the INTERNAL device (so prolly in fstab or somewhere where i can change the local charset )
the char set works perfectly on the external device but not on the internal ( in fact i have change the external device in fstab cos the direvs is never unplugged )
