UnicodeEncodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't encode characters #43

I'm trying to make use of this on my server running Arch Linux and I get the following error message. Not really sure what this means, can someone please help?

[root@kumo ]# mergerfs.fsck /usr/share/webapps/nextcloud/data 
Traceback (most recent call last):

Appears the path is has a file or directory with non UTF8 chars. I'll have to see how to go about handling that.

I suppose it's possible, some of these files came from my Android Phone and from older Linux systems I was running.

Try the newest version I just uploaded.

ShapeShifter499 commented 7 years ago

testing it now

ShapeShifter499 commented 7 years ago

I ran 

mergerfs.fsck /usr/share/webapps/nextcloud/data/

with the latest update and there were no output messages or errors. I'm guessing I should only see output when there is an issue right?

trapexit commented 7 years ago

No output means it didn't find any issues. And yes, if the issue was still there it'd error.

ShapeShifter499 commented 7 years ago

@trapexit I suppose this issue is fixed then. I'll go ahead and close this. Thank you for the awesome file system and tools.

No problem. Feel free to reach out again if you run across any issues.
