Characterset issues on nfs shares in finder
Hi everybody
I've a funny little issue. I'm running a little linux based (ubuntu 9.04) network at home where I've set up a few nfs shares. They are utf8 encoded and contain special characters.
On OS X 10.5 I could access these shares seamlessly. Now on 10.6 I've a problem with character encoding (at least I think it is this). Everytime a folder or file name contains special characters, I don't have access to it from the finder. If I go to the console and perform the corresponding operations from there: no problem. E.g. if I try to copy a file from the share to the desktop it says that I couldn't copy the file due to missing read access rights (there are no access rights issues though, I'm absolutely sure of that). I can copy the same file with cp in the console without any issues. If I rename the file in finder (to the same name) and then look at it in a linux system, I see place holders for the special characters. If I then rename the file in the OS X console again, the place holders disapear on the linux system.
I can't access this folders from within java or gtk applications running on the OS X system either (they just don't show up, or show up as files although they actually are folders).
Did anybody experience the same behaviour? Is it a bug or didn't I find the right character-settings? Where would I need to change this?
I'm greatful for any suggestions.
Cheers,
Stephan
