Public bug reported: Binary package hint: autofs5
This bug is not in autofs itself, but instead is in smbclient. Surely a separate bug report should be fired against smbclient but this bug may be relatively easy workarounded in autofs5 auto.smb/auto.cifs maps. Problem with smbclient may be easily demonstrated by examining the following output: r...@linuxws03:/etc# LANG="en+US.UTF-8" smbclient -N -gL linuxws03 Domain=[WG] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.4.7] Disk|print$|Printer Drivers IPC|IPC$|IPC Service (linuxws03 server (Samba, Ubuntu)) Disk|документы| Disk|documents| Domain=[WG] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.4.7] Server|WGOFFICE|Office Linux Server (Samba 3.0.9-1.3E.16) Server|LINUXWS03|linuxws03 server (Samba, Ubuntu) Workgroup|WG|WGOFFICE r...@linuxws03:/etc# LANG="C" smbclient -N -gL linuxws03 Domain=[WG] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.4.7] Disk|print$|Printer Drivers IPC|IPC$|IPC Service (linuxws03 server (Samba, Ubuntu)) Disk|Disk|documents| Domain=[WG] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.4.7] Server|WGOFFICE|Office Linux Server (Samba 3.0.9-1.3E.16) Server|LINUXWS03|linuxws03 server (Samba, Ubuntu) Workgroup|WG|WGOFFICE As you can see, the share named "документы" (this is russian word meaning "documents") gets lost when smbclient is being executed with "C" locale resulting in totally incorrect output "Disk|Disk|documents|" - in fact this should be two lines, one for "Disk|документы|" somehow mangled to be ASCII-friendly, and another one for "Disk|documents|". Yes, this is a bug in smbclient that should be reported at a separate bug report. To workaround this bug one may always use UFT-8 locale when running smbclient and optionally converting the output using something like " iconv -f utf8 -t ascii -c | grep -v 'Disk||' ". My approach was for to modify auto.smb/auto.cifs by adding 'export LANG="en_US.UTF-8"' to the top of the file in order to fetch correct shares list. Then some modifications should be done to the awk script parsing the output: $SMBCLIENT $smbopts -gL $key 2>/dev/null| awk -v key="$key" -v opts="$mountopts" -F'|' -- ' BEGIN { ORS=""; first=1; } /Disk/ { if (first) { print opts first=0 } gsub(/ /, "\\ ", $2) sub(/\$/, "\\$", $2) print " \\\n\t \"/" $2 "\" \"://" key "/" $2 "\"" } END { if (!first) print "\n" else exit 1 } ' This would allow to mount shares with utf-8 names, including ones that contain space characters in their names. ** Affects: autofs5 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: auto.cifs auto.smb autofs autofs5 smbclient utf8 -- autofs5 may fail if map contains utf8 characters https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/668933 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
