Convert shared folder with convmv -->Protocol Error

[Magio]

Hey there;


I have mounted a shared Folder of my Windows 7 Host on my Ubuntu 13.10 Guest System with installed GuestAddons and properly mountable configuration like this:

Code: Select all

mount -t vboxsf share sharepoint

It works ok, I can connect and read or write files in Ubuntu.


I need to convert the filenames to make them fit to SVN Guidelines; therefore I am using convmv. It worked always that way on a single Linux system without trying to get access to a mounted partition of another system. I used the following call:

Code: Select all

convmv -f utf-8 -t iso-8859-1 -r /mountpoint

The dry run runs fine, but with --notest I always get the Error: Protocol Error, what means that it cannot write or rename the file. What to do?

vboxsf is not an real, complete filesystem per se, so some features may not be properly supported. You could try with a true network share.
