On my NSLU2 (OpenWrt Kamikaze r12674 / Linux 2.6.26.3 armv5teb) :

I have some trouble interpreting correctly filenames containing emphasized characters on an ext3 partitions where the files were written from a Windows or Linux PC.
So again back any issue with code pages and charset but on ext3 partitions.

For example a folder named "Amélie Poulain" is displayed "Am├®lie Poulain" on the NSLU2

What is the default code page used by mount for ext3 file systems ?
Is it possible to change it ? (according the mount manual it seems that not)

I think I would need to use a codepage of 850 (like on Windows XP) and a charset of iso8859-15 or utf8 (to be "emphasis compliant")

Does anyone have an idea about how to solve this ?
Thanks a lot.

For info here are the loaded modules :

 dos charset = CP850
 unix charset = UTF8

seem to be the default options in smb.conf but are not accepted when added.

What version of samba do you use? Samba 2 does not have utf-8 support!
Do you want to use this disk with your NSLU2 permanently? Then you could rename all files on the disk from utf-8 to iso-8859-1 using "convmv".

samba 2.0.10-4

And the ideal target would be to be able to read correctly the disk whatever on which machine/OS it is connected...
