Code page 1250

[acikup]

Before upgrade to 1.5 i've made backup of my entire work into this NAS. It was performing very slow but at least I believe that data should stay safe, and filenames of course. After firmware upgrade lot's of my documents are inaccesible. Now I'm asking support team for further instructions? So, tell me what to do ? I was reading some posts before writing this down, and I tell you that I don't want to know anything about Samba and stuff like this. If I want to mess with Samba, I would put my 2 1TB drives into my own box not this so called storage enclosure. Just want my names and files back. And I'm in a hurry !!

what firmware did you update to?

you weren't able to access any thing off the drive afterwards? can you post some error screen shots?

Hello Patriot. The guy just wrote in the beggining that he did update to FW v.1.5. It's the same problem that have been talked on different posts. Just post the new FW with all codepages support like it was with 1.471B. I have lots of inaccessible folders and files due to FW update. Just forget the speed issues (which of course is important too). Right now we need our files back. I have also put all my entire collection into this device.

Hello Patriot. Any news? As someone mentioned on this forum - it seems the design of CORZA is just a big failure. Are you going to admit it or do something with the new firmware? We need our files back and need to work with this device. For me it's useless right now. What is going with you?

We are currently acknowledging this issue and working for a fix for the few people encountering it. We are hoping to present a firmware "downgrade" to the previous version so you can re-flash the firmware with the old version and access your files again. So far we have been un-successful but we are working on the problem.

Hello. OK - at least that. Maybe you could work towards the new version (1.6 ?) of firmware and reissuing 1250 code page support in it? I just can't imagine you couldn't just put in all code pages support again. Is it for us (different code pages people) the way for new firmwares closed or something? I don't get it.

I have same problem with codepage 1250 after upgrade to FW 1.5. Pls. publish old firmware to downgrade, or you make new 1.6 firmware. Problem is only samba, ftp working OK. Thanx.

Hello support,
what's the current status of this issue? I have the same problem on new corza NAS device delivered with v1.5 firmware build in.

Can you please provide a link to previous firmware version?

I really need to connect this device to busines traffic ASAP.

Thanks

After downgrade to version v1.471B from CD, I have same problem too.
Setting is codepage 1250, and I still can't read by samba my files,
which I upload before upgrade to v1.5.
What is wrong ?
Somebody does it work after downgrade ? :(

[PavlinII]

ziju, can you please provide a link to that previous firmware version v1.471B ?

Support obviously ignores this thread.

PavlinII: Check PM.

Hello everybody,
I've found a way how to configure device to handle diacritics on file system, BUT:
1) SERIOUS WARNING: I'm not linux expert and I'm not sure about any side efects of this method.
2) it works only to the next reboot of the device, at least you can backup your files.

1) Enable Telnet and connect
http://www.patriotmem.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1977

2) Edit smb.conf located here:
/system/hddapp/etc/samba/smb.conf
I used editor "vi", but I'm not sure if it's build-in by default. I've tried this article on my device:
http://www.patriotmem.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2137


vi /system/hddapp/etc/samba/smb.conf

3) Change "unix charset" to UTF-8
(In "vi" editor - locate cursor on "unix charset", press "i" to get edit mode. Delete CP437 and write UTF-8 instead. Press Escape to end edit mode. Type

:wq
to close editor (including initial colon))
Final line looks like this:

unix charset=UTF-8

4) Restart samba

/system/hddapp/etc/rc.d/S80samba.sh restart

Diacritics should start working immediately. But only until the next reboot of the device.
