Operating Systems Linux Slackware cp does not like filenames with accents? Post 302750071 by jim mcnamara on Sunday 30th of December 2012 08:08:39 PM

Is it imperative that the native charset remain in tact on the destination side?
If that is the case: Can you set the locale of the process doing the copy to match what is on the disc? If you do this every app you run against your will have to be set to use that special locale.

Otherwise use tar and iconv
Code:
mkdir /newdir
cd /mnt/cd0/STORE1
tar -c --file /dev/tty   |  ( cd /newdir ; | iconv [conversion options here] | tar xf )

[conversion options here] == you need to supply this.

virt-tar-in(1)						      Virtualization Support						    virt-tar-in(1)

NAME
virt-tar-in - Unpack a tarball into a virtual machine disk image. SYNOPSIS
virt-tar-in -a disk.img data.tar /destination virt-tar-in -d domain data.tar /destination zcat data.tar.gz | virt-tar-in -d domain - /destination WARNING
Using "virt-tar-in" on live virtual machines can be dangerous, potentially causing disk corruption. The virtual machine must be shut down before you use this command. DESCRIPTION
"virt-tar-in" unpacks an uncompressed tarball into a virtual machine disk image or named libvirt domain. The first parameter is the tar file. Use "-" to read the tar file from standard input. The second parameter is the absolute target directory to unpack into. EXAMPLES
Upload a home directory to a guest: virt-tar-in -d MyGuest homes.tar /home JUST A SHELL SCRIPT WRAPPER AROUND GUESTFISH
This command is just a simple shell script wrapper around the guestfish(1) "tar-in" command. For anything more complex than a trivial copy, you are probably better off using guestfish directly. OPTIONS
Since the shell script just passes options straight to guestfish, read guestfish(1) to see the full list of options. SEE ALSO
