Topic: umlaut problem ?

[fpausp]

Hi All,

I have a problem with german umlaut´s. I like to rsync some files to a usbdisk but the umlaut´s (ä,ö ...) are gone.

The disk was formated with - mkfs -t ext2 /dev/sdc and then tune2fs -j /dev/sdc.

I mount the disk with mount /dev/sdc /media/usbdisk.

Is there a synthax in rsync or mount or must i change something on the sme-server ?

If there is a special synthax i would prefer this method, i dont like to change something on the server.

Most unlikely that rsync causes the problem.
I wonder why you've made an ext2 filesystem and then added an ext3 journal. I suggest to re-format the disk using the mkfs.ext3 command and then check it again. If the umlaut issue still exists, cross check with the cp command.
