Re: RSYNC with DoubleByte Character file names
Hi Cassar, Adam,
man smbmount or man smbmount3
iocharset=<arg>
sets the charset used by the Linux side for codepage to charset
translations (NLS). Argument should be the name of a charset,
like iso8859-1. (Note: only kernel 2.4.0 or later)
codepage=<arg>
sets the codepage the server uses. See the iocharset option. Ex-
ample value cp850. (Note: only kernel 2.4.0 or later)
So, the problem is rather tricky, the factors to consider are
1. local filesystem io encoding (unknown to us)
2. local user space encoding (utf8)
3. remote smb server io encoding (unknown to us)
You must make sure that 1,2 and 2,3 work.

> first, you should make sure that the mounted file system can be read in the local host. And if the file system contains files with both simplified Chinese and traditional Chinese names, it is better to mount in UTF-8 charset, and in a UTF-8 locale, they should be read correctly.
