Hello, I don't seem to be able to mount a WindowsXP share with smbmount and get the correct charset. From what I understand Win2000/XP use UTF-8 for SMB shares, so I tried to mount with -o iocharset=utf8 but it did not make any difference. All extended characters are messed up or truncated.
Here is what I found out using filenames with a 'å': When I mount a Windows share with Samba the 'å' becomes \206 when I do ls -b. If I create the file on the Samba share from Windows it becomes \303\245 when I list it with ls -b. when I simply create a file on the local filesystem in Linux it becomes \345. When I browse a samba share that has two filenames, \303\245 and \345 they both show up correct in Windows. Only \303\245 show up correct if I list that file in Apache (which is set to UTF-8). Is not \303\ the UTF-8 prefix? Can someone help me shed the light on this? http://se.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/unicode.html -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
