rsync TO QNAP, charset problem

Post by dottcorbelli »

I am trying to make a copy with rsync from a FreeBSD system with zfs (therefore also FreeNAS) to a QNAP NAS

Code: Select all

/usr/local/bin/rsync -arv --delete --exclude ".*zfs/" --password-file /root/script/rsync.password/tank/condivisioni/ rsync://utentersync@10.0.0.119/mirror
The command works, but I have problems converting the character set. For example, folders with à are not copied correctly.

Couldn't find a working --iconv switch (rsync: read error: Connection reset by peer (54))

The only solution found was to mount the QNAP share with Samba on the FreeBSD machine, as a standard folder, and use rsync on the filesystem.

It works for pretty much everything except files with; in the name (which can be vetoed on BSD by smb4.conf)

However, this slows down the copying process.

After several internet searches I noticed that it is a fairly common problem (FreeNAS => QNAP and also Macintosh => QNAP)

Can someone help me?
Thank you
