Here is what I type:

# mount -r -t ntfs -ouni_xlate=1 /dev/sda2 /mnt/sda2

Here is what I get:

NTFS: unkown option 'uni_xlate'
mount: wrong fs type <etc, etc>

I have read the man page a number of times--this doesn't work.

When I less a directory after utf8, I get some weird characters in the output in brackets.

Thanks for your attention.
