[Samba] Samba 4 DC log.smd flooded with Conversion error

Thank you for your help but…

I execute some commands to make sure the locale is in UTF-8 by
dpkg-reconfigure locales and even adding setting in /etc/environment

and using utility like convmv to turn all file and folder into UTF-8 (in fact, they were in UTF-8 already.)

I add option in smb.conf
unix charset = UTF8
dos charset is omitted as default (dos charset = CP850)

However, when I run
/usr/local/samba/bin/smbclient //localhost/Public -UAdministrator%'verysecurepasswd' -c 'ls'

The same error in my log floods……

Is it a bug?
