This is a re-post, I am getting desperate because my work

too strange to move to another OS for such a tiny problem! Could
what I mention below be a bug of FreeBSD mount_smbfs?
Using FreeBSD 6.1, I can mount a windows share but the Chinese
characters in folder and file names look junk text to me. Charset
conversion (-E parameter of mount_smbfs) do not work at all. If I do
ls(1) to a directory that has Chinese character in its name, the process
'ls' will take about 80% CPU resource and hang there forever. Ctrl+C
cannot stop it (kill -KILL can). If I run other command that read any
file in the directory that has Chinese character in its name, that
application hangs there taking about 80% CPU resource too.
This process is better illustrated with this screenshot:
gopher://sdf.lonestar.org/I/users/weiwu/mount_chinese_smbshare.png
In the screenshot, I do have mounted the share with -E parameter which
should convert GB18030 folder names to UTF-8 but
actually no conversion is done (see the ls | iconv which shows what it
should be looking like if the conversion is done)
Actually I have never successfully done charset conversion with
mount_smbfs, what did I do wrong?
weiwu,
One thing comes to mind: Try your question here:
http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/FAQ/
and here:
http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/
and here:
http://us1.samba.org/samba/archives.html
and here:
https://lists.samba.org/mailman/
Your question is specific to samba, and probably not related to
FreeBSD-specific issues.

P.S. I note that the hosts in the links above are mostly "us1."
That's probably something to do with the language specification on my
system, but may be different for you. Check out www.samba.org for
better links.
Your issue has to deal with locales and character sets. I think what
you want to do is look into mount(8) and mount_smbfs(8), if you use
fstab to specify mounts for the SMB share instead of smbmount.
A flag that sort of jumped out at me in mount_smbfs(8) was...
-E cs1:cs2
Specifies local (cs1) and server's (cs2) character sets.
Cheers,

Also, I'm not sure if FreeBSD has been configured to run the particular
character set you need (nor am I sure where any documentation may be
regarding how to set that up), but you also want to explore getting that
solved in tandem with the mount_smbfs item.
Regardless of whether or not you specify the right character code for
smbmount, if the character set isn't available to the system or setup
properly, your specifying the character set with mount_smbfs is pretty
much moot; I know because I use Japanese in Linux and was having similar
issues until I got everything setup on the machine for Japanese reading
and writing. FreeBSD China <http://www.freebsd.org.cn/> probably holds
the answers to your problem, if your system isn't setup to read/write
Chinese.
Isn't cross-language communication fun =\?
