Hi everybody, since one of our TSM-customers moved his fileserver to a 64-Bit machine with Debian Linux and managed to install the latest TSM-client packages for Linux about a week ago, all objects with umlauts in their pathnames are skipped during backups leading to thousands of messages like ANS4042E Object name 'object_path' contains one or more unrecognised characters and is not valid. in the file dsmerror.log on the machine and in the Activity Log of our TSM-server. Environment: Debian 3.1 sarge auf Doppel-XEON Linux saturn 2.6.15 #1 SMP Thu Jan 19 11:07:39 CET 2006 x86_64 GNU/Linux IBM Tivoli Storage Manager - Client-Version 5, Release 3, Stufe 4.0
32Bit Emulations-Libs --> ia32-libs_1.4 amd64 GNU C-Lib --> libc6_2.3.2.ds1-22sarge4 amd64 The filesystems to backup are exported to Windows workstations via Samba with the global setting character set = ISO8859-15 Neither the recommended settings for German locale LANG=de_De or en_US LC_CTYPE=de_DE or en_US nor the setting [EMAIL PROTECTED] or de_DE.utf-8 which work perfectly with several SuSE or RedHat versions, have worked so far with the machine's Debian Linux. So now we are at a loss what else to look for (locale-configuration, library missing?) in order to get the TSM-client accept umlauts in directory or file names. Can anyone with experience with Debian Linux give us some hints on the matter? Thanks in advance!
