we use samba v3 on xfs filesystems
samba is setup to store files in utf-8 format
I works. I have done this for 12 months and have not seen any
problem. We have users storing filenames in just about every written
language.
is xfs able to store files in utf-8 unicode ????
Assuming that UTF-8 avoids having NULL, and / appearing in it's
multibyte sequences, pretty well all Unix file systems are UTF-8 ready
and have been since before Unicode was thought of.
Except for the meaning assigned to ASCII /, isn't a Unix file name
simply a list of bytes NULL terminated ?
It's all the supporting utilities you have to worry about.
While we have users storing Chinese file names on our Samba server, my
ablity to key those file names in to retrieve them from backups is some
what limited...
(Although now Fedora gterminal is shipped utf-8 compatable, I can
probably cu-n-past names in non latin character sets into the command
line of the restore program...)
