OS X filename incompatibilities via NFS
Hello,
I have a Mac Pro w/Xserve RAID that I'm trying to export via NFS to a Linux client. The problem I'm encountering has to do with differences in UTF-8 encoding of filenames between the operating systems. Apparently OS X uses something called NFD (normalization form D) and Linux - along with everyone else - uses NFC (you guessed it - normalization form C).
What happens is, if you're on the Linux client and you try to create a file with foreign characters in the filename, you get a Permission Denied error. Does anyone know of a way to force Linux into using NFD, or setting OS X up to allow NFC?
Thanks,
-David
