nfs encoding issue

I have a Celerra NS-20 that export a filesystem with cifs and nfs. The files are written by windows machines.

When I mount the cifs in linux all filename special characters are ok, but when mount the nfs (same filesystem) the filenames special character are broken.

Are there a way to mount the filesystem changing the encoding ?

Solution

  • We have the same issue with a new VNX 5300 and the resolution was to enable the NFSv4 protocol in the VNX, by default its only support v3.

    For that, edit:

    /nas/server/slot_2/config

    /nas/server/slot_3/config

    And set the line like:

    nfs config hivers=4

    and restart the datamovers:

    server_cpu server_2 -reboot -monitor

    server_cpu server_3 -reboot -monitor
