Hello, I’m using samba version 3.0.1-Debian rsync version 2.6.0 protocol version 27 And mount version 2.12 With kernel 2.4.22 As far as in aware these are the latest versions in Debian unstable. The problem im having is when mirroring my mp3 collection file names with characters like é Ï Ê etc. are not displayed in the linux filesystem and then when browsing to the directory through samba using a windows machine they are displayed as “” “ for example “02 R”yksopp - Eple.mp3”. Originally they would be displayed as “02 R””””””””””””””””” on the windows machine until I added “dos charset = CP850” and “unix charset = ISO8859-1” to the smb.conf file. Any help in resolving this problem would be much appreciated. The script I use for the mirroring operation is as follows: ################################## START SCRIPT #!/bin/bash # This is a simple script to mirror the MP3 Directory from the RAID to this machine #COMMANDS USED MOUNT=/bin/mount; RSYNC=/usr/bin/rsync; UMOUNT=/bin/umount; ECHO=/bin/echo; ID=/usr/bin/id; DATE=/bin/date; # ACTUAL SCRIPT $ECHO " "; $ECHO "MP3 Mirroring Script Start"; $DATE; # make sure we're running as root if (( `$ID -u` != 0 )); then { $ECHO "Sorry, must be root. Exiting..."; exit; } fi $MOUNT -t smbfs -o username=XXX,password=XXX,codepage=CP850,iocharset=ISO8859-1 //beast-mk2/RAID /beast-RAID ; if (( $? )); then { $ECHO "Could not mount RAID on beast-mk2 - Exiting"; $DATE; exit; } fi; $RSYNC -a -v --delete-after --modify-window=2 /beast-RAID/Mp3/ /Mp3-Mirror/ ; $UMOUNT /beast-RAID ; if (( $? )); then { $ECHO "WARNING: Could not UNMOUNT beast-RAID"; $DATE; } fi; $ECHO "MP3 Mirroring Script Finished"; $DATE; ################################## END SCRIPT Thanks in advance.
