Bug Description
i posted this on the ubuntu froum, and i think this s a bug, so i just copy the original paragraph here
_______
hi everyone, i am newbe in linux and ubuntu, having trouble with the following situation~
i am using two OS together, which are windowsXPproSP2 and ubuntu 6.06.
my windows is in english and so does the ubuntu
and i have many mp3's that are named in traditional chinese, since i am chinese.
the problem is, when i login into ubuntu, some of these mp3 file(or folder) rename by itself to FSCK0000.REN, FSCK0001.REN, FSCK0002.REN etc... and when i go back to windows, it wont change back to the original name. i dont want the name of the mp3 change to FSCK0000.REN or somethings else >_<
i noticed that the file's name will rename when only some of the chinese characters are existed on the name, such as "許", "輕","功" etc...,
for example, when the file name is called "許願池的希臘少女.mp3" in windows, where the character"許" is in the name, it will be changed to "FSCK0000.REN" when i login ubuntu.
and even if i change the name back in windows, once i login ubuntu, they rename it again....
my hard disk for the mp3 is in FAT32, and
when i login ubuntu, i dont have to mount the hard disk, they just appear on the desktop.
does anyone know what the problem is and how can i fix it?
thx for help

FAT_C,
Thank you for your bug report. We have received one other report where a user reported files being renamed in a similar way. They reported that it only affected file name with a space " " in them.
And today I received a similar report.
I'm sorry, but to give us a meaningful answer, and because Ubuntu will fix any files before you can show a report, you'll need to do some extra work.
Can you please:
* Boot into Ubuntu
* run: sudo chmod -x /sbin/dosfsck
* Boot into DOS/Windows
* Create a file with an illegal character like you show
* Boot into Ubuntu
* run: sudo chmod +x /sbin/dosfsck
* run: dosfsck -v -n <partition>
Then attach the output of the last command to this bug report.
