Author german vowels are missing after upgrade from Suse 7.3 to debian 2.4.19

Hello,

I formatted my/dev/sdb5 under SuSe 7,3 at that time with ext2. Now I
changed on to Debian Woody kernel 2,4,18 and mounted /dev/sdb5 as/DATA.

On that partition one can create files containing umlauts (special german
vowels as ä/ö/ü). These newly created files will be shown in

listings as expected.



In the Kernel are compiled into: iso8859-1, iso8859-15, cp850 and cp437
LANG=de_DE@euro is default in /etc./profiles


problem definition:
On the console and via Samba, new files with umlauts / special german
vowels, containing ä/ö/ü (pronounce ae/oe/ue) etc. can be created and

accessed without problems.

However the "old" files (those, which were produced under Suse 7,3) are
still wrongly represented.

parts of /dev/sdb5 are a share for Windows (under Samba).

If one accesses the above mentioned, "old" files with a Windows PC, the file
names are cut off after the umlaut/special vowels.

On files with special vowels created after the upgrade to Debian (kernel
2.4.19 and Samba 2.99), the file name is indicated "correctly".

I tried different approaches to solve the problem (compiled div Charsets
cp437,850, 851, 1252 and ISO 8859-1, 8859-15 into the kernel and as

loaded module)

Unfortunately, I do not know where I can see, in which character set the
file names was originally created / provided.
Also strace did not help me thereby.
Exchanging the characters with sed or Perl is surely possible, I however
gladly would know, what ran wrong.

Does someone have a tip?

Please answer also per Email - THX !

with best regards

Grützi,

Not sure. Where these files created with samba? If so I saw something about
this when I was looking at the samba discussions at www.samba.org. Try
upgrading your version to samba to at least 2.2.5.

Regards,
Robert
