Hello,
I am trying to mount from my freenas box 11.1-STABLE-U6 my Windows share using a command like:
mount_smbfs -I 192.168.0.123 -L fr_FR.UTF-8 -E utf8:utf8 //username@computer/Share /mnt/mountpoint
I followed several threads discussing about this (one of them advising the utf8:utf8 conversion, where someone else was saying this was not working, some where advising to change locales, dos charset in the smb4.conf, ...).
My unix charset is set to utf8. This is the only samba setting I left.
The above command works for my French accents, but the Euros sign displays as "?", as well as other specific signs. I pushed the test to even include Asian characters in some filenames in order to see the result, question marks are displayed too.
I made the mount from a linux box (MageIA and Bodhi), both of them "mount -t cifs" my Windows share wihout specifying any locale/encoding and the special chars (especially the euro sign) display correctly. For the asian characters, I used the Terminology terminal emulator to have all of them displaying.
I tried several combinations without any success. As a consequence my rsync command fails (and delete the destination file!) as it cannot process the file with the question mark.
At this point, I would like to have someone being able to reproduce my case and share with me the parameters he used to be able to have utf8 characters working.
I am pretty sure that this thread may help other freenas users. So explanations may be useful too ;)
Thanks in advance and take care
