I just tested it with one of my FAT32 partitions (created with Window$ Me), on
Fedora 8 with the distribution kernel (2.6.25.14-69.fc8). If I pass
codepage=1252 as an option, I get:
Unable to load NLS charset cp1252
FAT: codepage cp1252 not found
so cp1252 isn't even supported by the kernel! So your patch BREAKS automounting
of VFAT partitions COMPLETELY at least on Fedora 8. If on the other hand, I use
codepage=850 or codepage=437, it works, and both my personal experience and
Wikipedia confirm that 8xx or 437 are the correct codepages to use. (437 is the
old DO$ codepage for US and Western Europe, 850 the new Western European DO$
codepage (not sure about the US), the other 8xx ones are the other DO$
codepages, e.g. 855 for Cyrillic.)
