Hi,

 

Since the armbian release 5.3.6 (Linux 8 jessie 4.13.16-sunxi64) does not contain the module 'nls_utf8', one can not use the OpenMediaVault - OMV - plugin 'Remote Mount' for accessing an external HDD ... for example, which is connected to a Fritz!Box (running Fritz!NAS). Further details please see OMV - Remote Mount: How to mount an HDD that is connected to a Fritz!Box 7490?

 

Please include the module 'nls_utf8' (and maybe some more nls_* modules) in an update compilation, which is based on the same kernel. Many thanks in advance.

 

The module is provided in following Debian Jessie file list (image): https://packages.debian.org/jessie/arm64/linux-image-3.16.0-4-arm64/filelist

 

Regards, Joe

Many thanks. Does this mean that the nls_* modules (especially nls_utf8.ko) will be available automatically, when doing an upgrade to 4.14.14?

Yes, or rather with the 4.14.15 update since it just was pushed upstream

Thanks. Could you guess please, when 4.14.15 would be probably available for mainline kernel - debian server (OPI0+) at the eraliest? Or via apt-update && apt-upgrade?

Would it be good, if all nls_* modules are included within the basic linux-sunxi kernel deployment?

If, and only if yes: Should I write a short friendly request in the group Google group linux-sunxi? (Or is this the wrong 'procedure'/'communication'?)

We have daily beta updates. It should be there by now.

For Orange PI Zero Plus I've found in nightly only '4.13.14.7' from 20.11.2017 11:54. 

 

Independent from that: what about including the nls_* modules within linux-sunxi basic deployment, please?

Just do apt-get update and upgrade. I'll also add new images in next days.

Not up to us, upstream mainline sunxi_defconfig and arm64 defconfig are intentionally minimal and we (Armbian) are not using them anyway - we have our own set of kernel configs.

Thanks for your efforts ... and thanks in advance. Most probably I'll can give it a try on January 31st evening at the earliest ... I am looking foward and will stay courious.

Thx for this clarification. Hopefully other armbian users will also benefit from nls_* modules in 'armbian standard' ;-)

Worked!

 

And OMV Remote Mount (CIFS/SMB) works as well!

 

Many thanks!

Hi guys,

I have the same problem with current release.

Would you be so kind and add that module again to the release?
