Thread: Odd characters with CIFS network share

i've got few network shares on emc celerra san i'm trying mount on ubuntu development server.

here fstab lines on ubuntu server:
//10.1.1.106/artwork /mnt/artwork smbfs credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777,iocha rset=utf8,mapchars 0 0
//10.1.1.106/webfiles /mnt/webfiles smbfs defaults,username=user%password,workgroup=company, file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,rw 0 0
happens:

$ sudo mount /mnt/webfiles/ && ls /mnt/webfiles
_~1 1.ai c~1 ?ma r

$ sudo mount /mnt/artwork/ && ls /mnt/artwork

on suse production server have in fstab:

//10.1.1.106/webfiles /mnt/webfiles smbfs defaults,username=user%password,workgroup=company, dmask=777,fmask=777,rw 0 0

which results in:

>ls /mnt/webfiles
logs sales_attachments tmp webbackup

i've tried different iocharsets, mapchars, leaving options out , number of other options, network shares mount on ubuntu server have weird characters.


on appreciated.

is locale different on ubuntu development server , suse production server?
