can't copy certain files to Samba server
Hi all,
I've run into a weird little problem. I have set up a Samba server
(2.0.7-3.4) for our group and everything works quite okay. My users
access the server from their Japanese Windows (95/98/2K/NT) machines
and Japanese file names display fine for them. Never mind that it is
a mess on the Linux side ;-)
However, we've noticed that certain files can not be moved from Doze
to the Samba server. Other files can be moved without any trouble.
We've done a bit of experimenting and found that renaming the files
generally worked around the problem but, once moved, files can't be
renamed to their original name. I also seem to remember that names
that could be moved on one machine failed to do so on another.
The error message that we get says that the target directory does not
exist and prompts to create it. When you try to create it, Winblows
tells you that it can not create the directory because it already
exists :-( Geez, it'd be nice if win-DoS made up its mind!
Two example file names that could not be moved are:
研修受験申請.doc
'01 研修発表.ppt
For those who don't read Japanese, in hexdumped UTF8 that reads:
e7 a0 94 e4 bf ae e5 8f 97 e8 ac 9b e7 94 b3 e8 ab 8b 2e 64 6f 63
27 30 31 20 e7 a0 94 e4 bf ae e7 99 ba e8 a1 a8 2e 70 70 74
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this nuisance? I've
appended my smb.conf.
