Just after boot ntfs-3g does not recognise other than latin characters. Just a umount and mount the drive again fixes that.

Bug Description
Binary package hint: ntfs-3g
The same occurs both in Feisty and Gutsy I tried...
When you login into your system, the mounted ntfs drives have all my Greek named files or folders totally hidden (also you can`t even create a Greek named file on a ntfs drive).
I believe that this is not a problem only with the Greek characters but also with all other except the Latin ones.
If I just do the following everything is alright..
$ sudo umount /media/Storage
$ sudo mount /media/Storage
/media/Storage is a ntfs drive.
The solution is so simple (at least that what it seams) so I think that it should be fixed before the final gutsy release.

This is an Ubuntu boot time problem which is, afaik, solved in ubuntu 7.10. More info: ntfs-3g. org/support. html#locale3
