Mounting a Remote Microsoft Windows File System Using SMB on Linux Systems

You can mount the following types of Microsoft Windows file system remotely:

• File system that is exported from another system with Server Message Block (SMB).

• File system that is shared with Common Internet File System (CIFS).

To browse multibyte file or directory names correctly, you might need to configure the codepage and iocharset mount options for these types of remote file system.

For example, if you import from Japanese Windows, a sample /etc/fstab entry is as follows:

For information about values to use for the codepage and iocharset options, see Table 12–1. The value for the codepage option must begin with cp. For example, for the Japanese UTF-8 locale, use the value cp932, not 932.
