Mount a CIFS share with different encoding

[MikeMac]

I'd like to use RSYNC to network folder with Dune mediaplayer. For this I am mounting CIFS share at Dune as local folder

There is HOWTO http://wiki.nas4free.org/doku.php?id=faq:0056 How do I mount/map a CIFS/SMB/SAMBA/Windows share/shared folder on my NAS4Free server?
Everyting works fine if filenames are latin letters and digits. But I am Russian, and we regretelly have a few different encodings, most widely used - win cp 1251

Obvious rsolution is -E key, like

mount_smbfs -N -E UTF-8:cp1251 //GUEST@DUNE/DUNE /mnt/Dune

But this does not work at nas4free due to absence of iconv. pkg_add - is not a solution, due to there is dependance for pearl, quite big package.
Is it possible in the future to build nas4free with option WITH_ICONV at src.conf, as per, f.e. http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/lib ... rev=233625

Best regards, Mike

PS Thanks to nas4free developers for marvelous product!

Well under Services|CIFS/SMB|Settings it has an option to set the Dos charset to CP1251. I assume that would be what you need. Though it seems like you are mounting using linux so I guess you would need to change the Unix charset and I think it would be 8859-15.
Are you sure you need to change it? I am using the default CP437 and UTF-8 yet I have many files with Japanese characters and Arabic characters that work just fine browsing through windows explorer and opening them.

I tried compile rsync WITH_ICONV, but it not help for encoding from another languages.

of course not It is not about rsync, it is about libiconv

Code: Select all

Welcome to NAS4Free!nas4free:~# pkg_add -r libiconv

nas4free:~# mkdir /mnt/HMS
nas4free:~# mount_smbfs -N -E UTF-8:cp866 //GUEST@HMS/TEST /mnt/HMS
Warning: no cfg file(s) found.
nas4free:~# ls /mnt/HMS

In case if Russian name is not readable, I had attached screenshot

You could see, after libiconv installaion everything OK with encodig. Now any app, include rsync, could work with readable national letters

It is nas4free embedded 249 build on virtual machine. HMS is winXP machine, test - shared folder on the one
