Is this a limitation | involved in the file systems being used (ntfs) or rsync? It may be to do with the CIFS mount options (and for extra fun, I guess the USB drive's mount options). Can you provide a bit more information about the USB mount, and exactly what sort of failure rsync produces? Also, have a look at "man 8 mount", which says: Mount options for ntfs iocharset=name Character set to use when returning file names. Unlike VFAT, NTFS suppresses names that contain unconvertible characters. Deprecated. nls=name New name for the option earlier called iocharset. utf8 Use UTF-8 for converting file names. and the corresponding stuff for the CIFS mount. It is necessary that the characters on the source directory be expressible on the target directory. If you hit a dead end here (on this list) there are always the rsync lists: http://rsync.samba.org/lists.html Cheers, -- Cameron Simpson <cs@xxxxxxxxxx> DoD#743 http://www.cskk.ezoshosting.com/cs/ Your modesty is typically human, so I will overlook it. - a Klingon -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
