Didi,
Could you post the script you mention that you use for converting cp862 and
iso8859-8 filed and directories to UTF-8?
Thanks

I did not try it myself, I use a bit different one, but you surely need
at least '-depth' or you will have problems with Hebrew dirs with
Hebrew files in them. I suggest, in any case, that you double-check it
before running, especially on a large, multi-user file server. Windows
users love to put all kinds of characters in their file names - at
least put in your test cases all punctuation (including all types of
quotes), and also files whos names will be the same (e.g. one was
written with cp862 and the other with iso8859-8 - this happened to us
with a netapp that was accessed both directly from Windows and through
samba) - and change the script to do what's best for you in such a case.
