[Leopard]NFS Problems With long path

[fjfalcon]

Hello all. I have some macs with Leopard on it.
Version Leopard.
We have nfs file server on linux Debian.
I mounted it.. it works well...
Works with acl well.
All looks fine except one problem.
Sometimes users can't access some files with long path.
For example:

path

/Users/username/purify/projects/Проекты и заказчики/Салют (ММПП)/Салют(VIP)/VIPБуклет_2007_Май/Fonts

not accesseble while i not change any names of folder in this path.

If you can't see path - it because it in utf8 codepage and Russian.
So, in Linux it accesseble normaly from clients.
With mac's i have this trouble.
What can i do to fix it?
Is there any log files for nfs client in mac?

Hi
I am a solaris admin and I know that UNIX in general doesn't like spaces in filenames or directories. Try to rename the files and directories and take out the spaces. You can try using _ or - instead of using spaces. Also try "FileName" instead of "file name" I have seen many issues online about Mac not like spaces. The work around on the command like is add a canceling charitor before the space like /.

I hope this will be of help.

I guess the problem is more on the utf8 and Russian than in spaces. You have to be certain that the filesystem supports utf8, nfs server supports utf8 and nfs client (mac) supports utf8.

Try long paths with normal ASCII characters (/Users/username/level1/level2/ .. you get the idea).

Or use quotes instead of backslash before the spaces in the path.
cd "/Users/username/purify/projects/Проекты и заказчики/Салют (ММП&#1055/Салют(VIP)/VIPБуклет_2007_Май/Fonts"
