  • @TomYan ext4 created on debian 11. Contents was rsynced from ext4 on debian 9, but as I said, the files on ext4 are accessible without issues (although with weird filenames).

  • I was thinking about the iocharset mount option that is available in some "not-no-native" filesystem types. I wonder what kind of "state" the filename is in the filesystem. (Perhaps with certain locale it could show "properly"?) Btw, I don't suppose you can access the file on the ext4 with the name single-quoted in shell (or having a backslash before the ?)?

  • @TomYan of course not with that ? char, but with shell autocomplete I can access the file. Also find can access the file. On the samba share, find will just show error that the filename does not exist (hmm maybe samba returns different string for "readdir" and for "stat" of the actual filename).

  • Got sane problem with network drive. They work fine with windows, so i mount it in linux as automounf with "-fstype=cifs". Unfortunately MailDir files have ":"-char with filenames. They are copied fine to network drive, but ":" in the filename is changed to "?", so they can not be accessed and not even seen in linux that nakes automount, but are in the in network drive - which is linux machine -, of you connect with ssh to it. I haven't found solution yet. Commented Jan 24 at 20:14
