Hello list, I've noticed this problem for a few years now, I think. I see it popped out now and then in discussions. But they always end before a solution is given.
So let's try one more time :-) I have plenty of UTF-8 named files and directories. It's UTF-8 all round, I don't use anything else, so I have no doubt the byte sequences are correct in the filesystem (I happen to have accented Latin chars, Chinese, Japanese, and some non-letters chars, so it'd show up really quick if there was an issue there :-) I see those kind of errors in the logs, here about a directory named "♻_Corbeille". Please note: those lines are a direct copy of the log. So yes, the "♻" character is indeed correct in the two first entries (including the first conversion error line), but improperly logged as an invalid byte sequence in the two latter entries, and those two have different lengths.

So the issue is merely an annoying flood of logs. The system is Solaris 10, running Samba 3.6.18 linked against GNU libiconv 1.14. The charsets are defined like this in the configuration: dos charset = cp850 unix charset = UTF8 display charset = UTF8 So, any definitive fix for that? Thanks!
