I have a NFS server running on a Fedora 29 machine and other machines on my network (an Ubuntu box and a Debian VM) mount it properly.

But when I mount it on an OpenBSD VM, the charset is wrong, for example:

openBSD# ls -la a*o
-rw-rw-r--  1 renan  renan  0 Mar  4  2019 a????o

The ???? should be 'çã' (the file name is ação).

My command line on the OpenBSD was mount -o tcp -t nfs 192.168.1.7:/mnt/data /mnt/data.

What to do? I went through mount's man page and there is no way to set the charset to use, apparently.

  • Have you changed it to a BR locale? Commented Mar 4, 2019 at 23:40
  • @RuiFRibeiro setting the locale to a pt_BR one worked. I will write a more thorough answer. Commented Mar 5, 2019 at 0:12

From the locale manpage:

Programs in the OpenBSD base system ignore the locale except for the character encoding, and it is not recommended to use any of these variables except that the following non-default setting is supported as an option:

export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8

Then, setting LC_CTYPE to be pt_BR.UTF-8 works and I get the correct filenames now.

    Excellent you pulled it off as I am not in OpenBSD anymore. +1. I think there was a "standard" place/file to define that. Commented Mar 5, 2019 at 0:17
