Package: samba
Version: 3.0.22-1
Severity: important
This may be related to the previously reported quotation mark
bug (Debian bug #333778), but I'm not sure.
Anyway, I have a file named:
---
02-you know what you are?.flac
which appears as:
---
0J1HP7~2
with the default "mangle names = yes". I can copy it to the local
machine, so with the default settings, the file is in fact accessible
(although Winamp doesn't like it much admittedly).
With "mangle names = no", the file name shows up correctly, but
the file cannot be copied to the local machine giving an error of:
---
Cannot copy 02-you know what you are?: The filename, directory name, or
volume label syntax is incorrect.
under Windows XP Professional.
So really, it's basically exactly the same bug as the quotation
bug. But the problem is, by disabling name mangling, the file becomes
inaccessible, or at least does in this situation for me. I've got a
number of other files with question marks in the their names which
exhibit the same problem. It looks like upstream really should look
into this probably and I'd be interested if the people experiencing the
quotation mark bug were able to access the unmangled name version of the
file or not. Strangely, I can right click on the file and view its
properties from Windows, but any attempt to copy it results in the
aforementioned message and a rename attempt gave me:
---
Cannot rename file: Select only one file to rename, or use MS-DOS
wildcards (for example, *.txt) to rename a group of files with similar
names.
Winamp similarly fails trying to access the file, so it appears as if
only the basic stat information is available to the client.
I did not try changing my locale, so I cannot say whether this
would help.
