A couple of days ago I created a workspace on a Samba share. The system I
work on has loads of Hungarian comments in it, which is saved on and off
in either UTF-8 or ISO-8859-2. This means that apart from setting the
encoding of the files at project / container level, I also need to set it
per file here and there.
However, whenever a setting needs to be written to
org.eclipse.core.resources.prefs, I get an error (Could not save encoding
settings. Exception occurred while saving project preferences:
/project/.settings/org.eclipse.core.resources.prefs).
Any idea what's causing this? I've set the permissions of the file to be
writable by everybody so that shouldn't cause the problem.

Just checking... by "the file" you do mean the
..settings/org.eclipse.core.resources.prefs file, as opposed to the file
whose encoding you're trying to specify, correct?
I see this problem happen often with "pessimistic" (locked by default)
version control systems such as Perforce, but it doesn't sound like you're
using any version control at all?
There are a couple of bugs in Bugzilla related to the way character
encodings are stored; you might want to just familiarize yourself with those
bugs, to understand some of the underlying issues, in case that helps
diagnose the problem for you.

It's possible. See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=160905 for
some background on this issue.
If you can come up with a reproducible test case, it would probably be
appropriate to post a bug (to whomever is responsible for the SVN plug-in -
I think that's a third-party plug-in?)
By the way, what version of Eclipse are you encountering this on? You might
want to experiment with 3.4M4, since I think some bugs in this area were
recently addressed.
