tl;dr

i wonder what information you miss...

1, a folder structure with short filenames/foldernames and a dot on their ends but no ms-dos "extension" (eg.: "123.", "folder.", etc. see a cyrus imap maildir structure.) is shared via samba (see config file). the underlying file system was ext4. the filenames showed correct on the linux server. this was also working fine with ubuntu 8.04.
2. i expected the filenames to be the same on the mounted share when looked from under windows 7.
3. however, these short filenames (and only these!) showed up as random characters. i tried copying them, the names were wrong. also tried ftp, names were correct.

i can not reproduce this anymore as i wiped 10.04 completely, and switched back to 8.04.
bye
