reestablishing SMB-Connections lasts up to 30 minutes
Hi, I've a 314 NAS (mounted as drive M:\) behind a HP-Procurve-Switch, for some reasons (ransomwareprotection) I disconnect that certain switch port by snmp-command - thats no problem. Later the...

Hi,
I installed the latest Firmeware (6.7.4.) on my NAS some days ago and now I thought to test whether something has changed relating to my problem.
Indeed, when I disable my Switch-Port (where NAS is connected to) and then (re-) enable that Switch-Port (HP-Procurve-Switch, disabling/enabling via SNMP-Command) then it lasts 10 seconds!!!! until I have a SMB-Connection to my NAS.
Amazing, thank you for your effort spent in my case.

Hi,
as far as I can see in the logs there is nothing in particular - I jotted the time down when I did my tests 10:32 and at that time there no log-entries
Is there a deeper inview into the logs ??
Where to upload or sent the logs too ??

Perhaps try disabling local master browser functionality:
# echo "local master = no" > /etc/frontview/samba/smb.conf.overrides

Hi,
I tried that (putty and then entered your commands) and checked by using cat on that file smb.conf.overrides. It was put in there.
But nothing changes.
Than I tried to reboot my NAS to put parameters in work - the same problem - reboot finished at 15:31 (could access via Putty and/or Web) but couldnt connect via UNC-Path or drive-letter which was still stored.
But then at 15:39 I could connect to UNC-Share, everything works fine.
Changed but the problem persists because I cant and dont wanna wait up to 10 minutes (in this case, who knows, how this time vary).

Hi,
I'm still looking how to improve that situation - I want to enable my HP-Procurve-Switch-Port (e.g. Port 12), where my ReadNas is connected to, and then I want to access the Readynas SMB-Share.
Immediatelly after enabling the switch-port 12 I can access Readynas via Telnet, Web but not via SMB - therefore I've at least to wait 10 minutes.
How to decrease that time, I've to wait for SMB-Services ?? E.g. if thats 30 sec or 2 minutes ok, but not 10 or more minutes!
