has ANYONE used FreeBSD read Chinese directories from a Windows Share? (was: Re: (repost) cannot read windows share)

[张韡武]

If our understanding to the current problem is correct (that FreeBSD
kernel iconv currently have problem with double-bit character-set), then
there should have never been FreeBSD users that can actually mount and
access a Windows Share that:
     I. is using GB2312 locale (that is, Windows Simplified Chinese
        version);
    II. have Chinese character in folder names
