Hi,
we run a samba 2.2.8 server and like to migrate to a faster, new server running samba 3.0.2a.
I thought to copy all files from the old to the new one mounting the new shares by nfs. For a test I copied some files using scp.
A problem concernes the german umlauts:
on the old server they aren't displayed if I "ls" the files while browsing the share works fine. If I copy the files to the new share, the files are visible in a terminal by e.g. ls, but not visible on the share mounted by my client :-(
I'm using the default settings for character coding or the charset options.
Any ideas how to solve my problem? Is ther a (easy) workaround?
You should configure your system locale for UTF8, and then run a program such as convmv to convert all your filenames from your current codepage into UTF8.
or set your 'unix charset', but it really is best simply to use UTF8.
Hi,
maybe a stupid question, but how do I find out, which codepage is the current??
I did copy a old folder from my old samba2 server to my new samba3 server using scp and did :
./convmv -r -f iso-8859-1 -t utf8 ../foo\ bar/
The output is:
mv "../foo bar/?" "../foo bar/" mv "../foo bar/hallebadk?pple" "../foo bar/hallebadkpple" mv "../foo bar/?" "../foo bar/" mv "../foo bar/?" "../foo bar/"
But where are my umlauts??
Thanks once more for any hints!
