Description Sergey V. Oudaltsov 2003-09-17 07:27:42 UTC
I created a file on "normal" MS Windows server (Win2000) using MS Windows
(Win2000) client. The file has russian name (a lot of russian characters). Then
I use smbmount to mount it. The options are:

smbmount //SERVER/Share /home/user/SERVER/Share -o
username=user%password,fmask=644,dmask=755,uid=500,gid=100,debug=0,workgroup=DOMAIN,iocharset=utf8,codepage=utf8

I use iocharset utf8 because my Linux locale it ru_RU.UTF-8 (kernel 2.4.20-19.9
from RH updates). I tried all possible codepages - but I constantly see
?????.??? instead of the russian filename on the server (all ASCII names are ok).

When I create a russian file on the server from Linux machine (after smbmount),
Windows client does not see it properly. It looks like UTF-8 in ASCII (I mean I
see twice more characters and each characters 0th, 2nd, 4th, ... are same).

BTW, if I use usual smbclient, not smbmount - I can see russian filenames on the
server properly.

Have you tried codepage=cp866?
Comment 2 Sergey V. Oudaltsov 2003-09-18 17:51:31 UTC
Sure I did! See the attached batch - I tried ALL codepages and NONE of them
showed me the filename correctly.

This is an smbfs issue, not Samba.
