Linkstation LS-CHL Character Encoding
« on: July 13, 2009, 09:26:50 AM »
   

Hi,

 

I successfully mounter my  Linkstation LS-CHL samba shares on my Ubuntu Jaunty Linux computer through fstab.

 

The only problem is that the character encoding is all wrong.

Before, I did not specify one and some files would simply not be correctly transfered.

Now, I specify  iocharset=utf8 but the characters are messed up (but at least they are transfered). What is the Linkstation's proper character encoding?

 

Thanks

I found the solution. Modify the following line to your needs and add it to your fstab:

 

 //tera/share  /media/linkstation  cifs  credentials=/etc/samba/user,noexec,iocharset=utf8,codepage=cp437  0 0

 

 

The file /etc/samba/user contains your samba username and password (if needed). Make that file readonly for root or you might have security issues.

username=user

password=passwd
