Binary package hint: samba
Mounting a SMB share with option "mapchars" gives odd effects with folder names with non-ascii characters, eg. Polish national ones (ąćęłńóśźż): the only contents of such a folder is the same folder itself.
good (without mapchars):
$ sudo mount -t cifs //win2003server/whatever whatever -o credentials=/secret,iocharset=utf8
$ ls whatever
sprzęt
$ ls whatever/sprzęt
file1 file2
wrong (with):
$ sudo mount -t cifs //win2003server/whatever whatever -o credentials=/secret,iocharset=utf8,mapchars
$ ls whatever
sprzęt
$ ls whatever/sprzęt
sprzęt
$ ls -l whatever/sprzęt/sprzęt
ls: cannot access whatever/sprzęt/sprzęt: No such file or directory
in both cases:
$ env |grep LANG
LANG=pl_PL.UTF-8
GDM_LANG=pl_PL.UTF-8
$ uname -a
