I've got a problem with file names containing ":" and "?" characters when mounted via mount_smbfs. I have two FBSD machines running SAMBA. Machine-1 mounts a file system from Machine-2 using mount_smbfs(). The ls() command converts a file name such as XX:YY to something like X~Y. If I run tar() to backup XX:YY, it reports an error (tar: X~Y: no such file or directory).
So it appears that when tar() recursively goes down a directory hierarchy and finds the file, it gets the name as X~Y. But when it trys to add the file to the archive, it fails because there is no file on the system with the name X~Y. Is this something that the charsets definition in nsmb.conf can fix? If so, what are the character sets I should use? If not, is there a solution for this issue?
