April 9, 200818 yr As seen in: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=1777.0 If I mount an NTFS disk either using normal ntfs fs or ntfs-3g, folders containing Greek characters (and I suspect any unicode chars outside normal "ASCII" area), are ignored! Not shown at all! I cannot copy them, rsync them or whatever because they are not there! If there is somewhere else I need to report this (not unRAID), let me know or do it for me. Doesn't seem to be a fs driver issue as it happens with 2 ntfs implemementations (one of them VERY active).
April 9, 200818 yr Anyone? Or is this only for US and UK market? Let me know. midnight commander has unicode issues... it is not unRaid, or SAMBA. Your "telnet" client might have the same issues dealing with unicode characters. The solution is in switching to a different character set. (not sure how to do this on the console in slackware) google "midnight commander greek" for some more info. Joe L.
April 9, 200818 yr I keep a LOT of music on my UnRaid... a long time ago I was moving some music around in "native" linux using the command line. I lost several folders full of music by Blue Oyster Cult because the names were fancied up with some extended characters... moving an entire folder I ended up with one corrupt directory entry and no files... doing the same from another machine with windows explorer had zero issues...

If you can get to "Options->Display-Bits..." you can select alternate character sets. Perhaps one of those is the key to getting things working in MC. If you can attach a "zip" file that contains a "greek" named directory with a file or two in it (not music, or video, just a small text file or two) perhaps Tom (or somebody used to dealing with unicode issues) can guide you to setting up the correct character set for your console.

April 9, 200818 yr Author Guys I DO use putty, I HAVE gone to that menu, selected another set. NO difference. I am talking about even "ls" (i.e. OUTSIDE mc)... Greek folders do NOT show up (but they DO show in the share in Windows)... I will do as mentioned. I will attach a small txt file with greek filename and folder with greek name containing a file with english filename (and you'll see it goes "invisible" for tty).
