Part of the difficulty stems from a fundamental mismatch: NTFS tightly controls its file name encoding (it is, IIRC, some kind of UTF-16, but I'm not sure anymore). Linux doesn't care -- file names are sequences of bytes, to be interpreted by the application du jour. Both approaches have disadvantages. Mixing both has even more ;-) > Anyway, I don't have access to source and two destination disks anymore to > investigate this further. > Data recovery was successful and case closed.
