Hi, we run a samba 2.2.8 server and like to migrate to a faster, new server running samba 3.0.2a. I thought to copy all files from the old to the new one mounting the new shares by nfs. For a test I copied some files using scp. A problem concernes the german umlauts: on the old server they aren't displayed if I "ls" the files while browsing the share works fine. If I copy the files to the new share, the files are visible in a terminal by e.g. ls, but not visible on the share mounted by my client :-( I'm using the default settings for character coding or the charset options. Any ideas how to solve my problem? Is ther a (easy) workaround? Thanks!

Is ther a (easy) workaround?You should configure your system locale for UTF8, and then run a program such as convmv to convert all your filenames from your current codepage into UTF8. or set your 'unix charset', but it really is best simply to use UTF8.
