I have just updatet, Samba 2.2.8a to 3.0.1 and all my files with german umlaute in its names where just glibberish and I couln'd open them anymore. I work with XP and Win98 Clients. Well, I fixed that with setting unix charset = ISO8859-15. But the umlaute are still not shown rightly. New files are ok and I can change old ones by hand.
so if ISO8859-15 works okay for you, you probably also had set "character set = iso8859-15" in Samba 2. With Samba 3 you really should leave "unix charset" to the default, utf8, you just have to convert the old filenames.
Can I chage them automaticly with convmv ?
And what settings need I with unix charset when I convert them. Does it also work with the Win98 Clients?
yes, it does, convmv can convert recursively and also skips files which are already utf-8 encoded, so even if you have newly created files in utf-8 and old filenames still encoded in iso8859-1 (or cp850 or whatever), turning everything into utf-8 is fairly easy.
