I don't have a simple answer to this. As matter of fact I am struggling with the same issue. I have a bunch of files with accent characters and other characters from way back then ( mp3 files are plastered with these issues ) and never had any issues copying those files between Windows, Synology, macOS, my Linux installs, etc. With the advent of my unRaid server a few weeks back I have tried a myriad of things to get my files copied over. The first time I realized it was when I setup Resilio between my Synology NAS and my new unRaid Server to get all my data over to unRaid. I compared folder sizes on both sides and the sizes were off by alot. Turned out Resilio just skipped all files unRaid saw an issue with and I missed all those files. I tried rsync and other third party tools and unRaid plugins, to no avail. I even tried copying files from my Synology NAS to an external SSD first and then mounting it to the unRaid server to copy those files from the external ssd to the destination share on unRaid, unfortunately with the same result, skipped files!. NOTHING worked and it became a PITA and a huge time hawk. After some more research I found a script that renames accent characters from 'ä' to 'ae' and so on. For me not ideal at all since I had some installers and those ended up failing due to obvious reasons of not being able to find the file after they have been renamed by the script and obviously my playlist didn't find affected files. I came across a solution where you instructed rsync to change the character encoding using '--iconv=utf8,iso88591' (whichever applies). Unfortunately that didn't work for me, I probably did something wrong. The only thing that I was able to do, which is far from ideal and ends up renaming files, was to compress the entire folder on my Synology NAS (Windows or wherever you have them before you try to get them over to your unRaid server), copy the archive over to the unRaid server and extract the archive using 7z within mc ( Midnight Commander ). At least it extracted all files and folders but as mentioned in some cases the names changed. I am still searching for a solution that just works. I am still too new to unRaid but don't want to give up on unRaid either especially after investing a lot into the Dell server and I really like unRaid thus far. This filename/forldername issue is quite a bummer. I am not sure if this has something to do with the file system, most of my setup is using ZFS and a couple use the good old EXT, the character mapping, I am not sure how to exactly tackle this issue and I was unable to find a 100% working solution.

Thank you @Frank1940 !

Hi @IMTheNachoMan, late to the party but could be helpful for others. Following a set of instruction on creating an NFS Share for only specified IP / IP's: - Main Navigation -> Shares -> Your Share (for this example I will use my 'multimedia' share) - Scroll down to 'NFS Security Settings' - Making the share available to only one IP (in this example, 10.1.1.165) - Making the share available to multiple IP's (simply separate multiple IP's by a space) Cheers, DoggByte / BigTechDiet
