      Hi all. I’m a new AntiX user, coming from MX. I plugged in a USB drive and later after unmounting it, I happened to check dmesg and saw this message.

      utf8 is not a recommended IO charset for FAT filesystems, filesystem will be case sensitive!

      How do I fix this? Thanks in advance.

        Just found this.

        https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/utf8-is-not-a-recommended-io-charset-for-fat-filesystems-will-be-case-sensitive/

        So is it safe to ignore the warning, keeping FAT32 filename restrictions in mind?

          Right. Just follow the warnings/recommendations in that earlier post.
