Rsync problem / Special characters

[Nic Colledge]

Are you rsync-ing with a mounted samba directory (using mount -t smbfs
...)? 
Because I'm having a problem similar to this one with filenames with
special characters.

There is a bug on the system (bugs.samba.org) relating to smbmount (and
special characters) that is yet to be fixed and I'm hoping that this
will fix our problems after days of fiddling with iocharset= and
codepage= . As well as unix charset = and dos charset = in smb.conf.

Nobody looks to have any answers on the samba list either.

Hi,

I have not esatblished a working rsync config on my server, but have
found
one major problem in which i hope there is a solution to.

I'm based in Norway, with scandinavian clients. Of course we use several
"special characters" in our keymap, which is not supported in US
keyboards
etc.
I  know there is a better word for this, unfortunatly i can't remeber
it, so
i hope you get my point.

The problem have been found when trying to transferr mySQL databases and
some other files like mail etc through rsync.
Every "non-us" character is not transferred correct, but replaced with
other
characters like a square, pundsign etc.
Is there a "workaround" to this problem, or will i have to move these
files
manually?

Both computers are configured with the Norwegian (NO) keymap.


Best regards,
Terje Dahl
