Yes. Seems like Konqueror doesn't care about system settings and stores the filenames in non-UTF-8. Anyway, I now managed to install NFS on the NAS box. With NFS, I can now easily and successfully create filenames with non-ASCII characters, like "blöder name". But when I access the share from Windows (or rather: via SMB), the filenames are still mangled :( What I'm after is a way for Samba to transform filenames from the stored (on disk) UTF-8 name to cp850 (or whatever). The NAS box is running Samba 2.2.8a. Can Samba 2.2.8a do this? With Samba 3, this would be possible, wouldn't it? If Samba 2 could do this, how/what would I configure? I suppose "client code page" and "character set" are the relevant settings? What are the allowed values for "character set"? Are the "nftable" files in /usr/share/codepage the allowed values? If so, then Samba 2 (or at least that installation) doesn't handle UTF-8; only iso-8859-x and some cpX values. Or would "find /lib/modules/$(uname -r) -name nls*.o" reveal me the allowed values? If so, "UTF8" would be a good value - but even with "character set = UTF8", I can't get a good translation. "blöder name" translates to "bl├Âder name" on Windows :( Can Samba 2 do UTF-8 filename translation? Thanks, Alexander Skwar -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
