My understanding (from conversations with R. Imura) is that the Mac OS X implementation of Samba speaks Unicode by default, whereas the smbfs implementation is not multi-byte aware. This can lead to situations where files on the Mac OS X server with multi-byte characters in the filenames are not accessible via SMBFS - they appear with jumbled names in the directory listing, and cannot be accessed using any name (smbfs returns "file not found"). I stumbled across patches available by R. Imura which are a work todays adding Unicode support to smbfs, and from what I gather are derived from changes in Darwin (Mac OS X) smbfs: http://people.freebsd.org/~imura/kiconv/ There are potentially other improvements available from the Darwin SMBFS implementation, available here: http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.5.2/ http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/tarballs/other/smb-348.1.tar.gz --AntonyReceived on Wed Jun 11 2008 - 02:53:01 UTC
