[gentoo-user] Samba and Hebrew File Names

[David Harel]

Hi,


I never could make Linux box use MS-XP files (NTFS) over samba when the 
file names are Hebrew.

open attempts of such file names results in failure (-1) and errno set 
to NOENT (standard message: No such file or directory).

My last attempt is with: 
http://www.iglu.org.il/faq/index.cgi?_recurse=1&file=74#file_77

Unfortunately the command "make_unicodemap" is missing from the package 
(samba 3.0.20b is what I currently have)

I tried the mount with options codepage=cp862,iocharset=iso8859-8

and I have kernel configurations 2.6.17 with:

NLS_CODEPAGE_437

NLS_CODEPAGE_862

NLS_ISO8859_8

NLS_ISO8859_1 (only God knows why I keep this one)

NLS_UTF8

I don't know what more I can do (I'm loosing it).

Heya,

I just tested this out really quick and encountered the same problem.  However 
I was able to mount everything without any problems using cifs instead of 
smbfs.  If you have that in your kernel then you can try it.

mount -t cifs -o user=<username if required> //<system>/<mount> /<mount here>

With WinXP on the otherside (or any newer samba also) you should not need to 
specify anything other than that above, however to get a better idea of what 
you can do with this you can check out the man page for mount.cifs. 
(man:/mount.cifs under konqueror or "man mount.cifs" from the commandline.)

Hope that helps you out in your quest.
