Java Desktop System Release 2 Release Notes

1.8.2.2 Mounting a Remote Microsoft Windows File System Using Samba

A system administrator must configure mount options codepage and iocharset to mount a remote Microsoft Windows file system shared using CIFS, or a file system exported from another system by SMB. For example, if you import the legacy files encoded in big5 on Traditional Chinese Windows, the iocharset parameter must be set to big5 and codepage must be set to 950 to browse the Traditional Chinese file names correctly. A sample /etc/fstab entry is as follows:

server:/data /data smbfs iocharset=big5,codepage=950,username=foo,password=bar
