Samba shares and the famous german umlaute - how to get it work???

[alterfritz72]

Hi,

I need help. Running freenas 11.2 with FreeBSD 11.2-STABLE

root@freenas[~]# uname -a
FreeBSD freenas.local 11.2-STABLE FreeBSD 11.2-STABLE #0 r325575+3a9793238ff(freenas/11.2-stable): Thu Nov 15 13:51:02 EST 2018 root@nemesis.tn.ixsystems.com:/freenas-11.2-releng/freenas/_BE/objs/freenas-11.2-releng/freenas/_BE/os/sys/FreeNAS.amd64 amd64

Getting really crazy about how to mount a share form another Ubuntu server and 2 more synology ones to my freenas.

at 1st it looks easy:

mount_smbfs -E -I 192.168.10.5 //fritz@192.168.10.5/data /mnt/vol1/mnt/data/data

Get mounted but german umlaute are not correct - both in putty and also windows explorer.

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 0 6 Dez. 10:06 äöäöä-txt
drwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 16384 10 Juli 14:27 disk1
drwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 16384 10 Juli 14:28 disk2

drwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 16384 26 Nov. 09:01 disk7
drwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 16384 6 Dez. 10:06 ???
drwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 16384 6 Dez. 10:29 ???????

Those ???? are the Umlaute that exists on the share (ok in Windows), while the ones on top I have created via "touch äöäöä-txt", those ones are not correcty on Windows Explorer.

google say it has to do with smb.conf setting on the server side. So I added

...
display charset = cp1252
unix charset = utf-8
dos charset = cp1252
...

And then added charset to mount command ...

mount_smbfs -E utf-8:cp1252 -N -I 192.168.10.5 //fritz@192.168.10.5/data /mnt/vol1/mnt/data/data3

However this does not work at all. Share still empty. locale

root@freenas[~]# locale
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=de_DE.UTF-8
root@freenas[~]#

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRGGGHHHH!!!!

I want to run Plex on freenas / freebsd - but this is getting me nuts. Please help!
