Files or directories moved from OSX to Synology NAS is inaccessible

If files or directory is inaccessible you need to normalize it from UTF-8 C (OSX) to D (Linux)

  • Enable NFS on NAS
  • Setup NFS permission on NAS for target directory
  • From linux connect to NFS share (CentOS: mount.nfs -w 192.168.1.100:/volume1/datastore/ /mnt/)
  • Install convmv tool (CentOS: yum install convmv)
  • Open mounted directory
  • Run command convmv -r -f utf8 -t utf8 --nfc . (dry-run)
  • If error (max: 255) appeared modify convmv (vi /usr/bin/convmv) variable $maxfilenamelength from 255 to 1024, then run previous command again
  • To perform converting run the command convmv -r -f utf8 -t utf8 --nfc --notest .
