Hi all and Happy New Year!

I use the same partitions of an external firewire hard disk from eMule-Windows and aMule-Linux, so these partitions are NTFS.

Under Linux I use ntfs-3g to mount them with the following entry (well, similar entry) in /etc/fstab

Code: [Select]

/dev/sda1   /mnt/NTFS ntfs-3g defaults,umask=0,noauto,silent,no_def_opts,allow_other  0   0

My SLAMD64 is configured to use en_US.utf8 as system language:

Code: [Select]


mr_hyde@krypto:~$ locale -a | grep en_US
en_US
en_US.utf8

mr_hyde@krypto:~$ locale
LANG=en_US.utf8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.utf8"
LC_TIME="en_US.utf8"
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_MONETARY="en_US.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.utf8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.utf8"
LC_NAME="en_US.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.utf8"
LC_ALL=


With this settings I have problems about shared files with special characters (like è à ò ì ù often used in italian language). When I start amule, in log file, I can read:

Code: [Select]

2008-01-01 11:40:26: Logger.cpp  Error: Failed to retrieve file times for '/mnt/NTFS/<FILE_WITH_SPEC_CHARS>' (error 84: Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character)
2008-01-01 11:40:26: FileFunctions.cpp: FileIO: Error on GetLastModificationTime from `/mnt/NTFS/<FILE_WITH_SPEC_CHARS>'
2008-01-01 11:40:26: CFile.cpp: CFile: Error when opening file (/mnt/NTFS/<FILE_WITH_SPEC_CHARS>: Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character

I tried also to "force" en_US.utf8 in /etc/fstab (as described in http://www.ntfs-3g.org/support.html#locale) but with same results.

Any idea about this little annoying problem?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Bye,

Hi,

this is a problem not caused by ntfs, but by aMule. phoenix will probably change the behaviour so that it'll work on UTF-8 soon.

Ok, thanks! I'll stay tuned on the same bat-channel waiting for news

Bye,
