Joe_PS Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 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

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'?)

Joe_PS Posted January 24, 2018 Author Posted January 24, 2018 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?
Igor Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 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.
Joe_PS Posted January 24, 2018 Author Posted January 24, 2018 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.

kristofejro Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 Hi guys, I have the same problem with current release. Would you be so kind and add that module again to the release? root@openmediavault:~# uname -a Linux openmediavault 4.19.17-sunxi64 #5.73 SMP Tue Jan 29 06:41:37 CET 2019 aarch64 GNU/Linux root@openmediavault:~# grep -i nls_utf8 /boot/config* # CONFIG_NLS_UTF8 is not set
