SMB partially Broken after update to 6.10.2 - RN314

EDIT : Sorted the Workgroup to Workgroup as suggested by many on upgrading - but no luck.
Interestingly, it seems that I can get to most of the other drives, but the one with the data needed......

Leaving a corrupt file system alone (a file system check wold be a good idea!), when folders and/or files are not visible or accessible, this is typically caused by effective access loss (easy to happen when co-accessing shares by using NFS, by rsync, ....) due to restrictive Unix protection masks, restrictive ACLs, ... probably paired with the SMB Plus (or manually) added "Hide unreadable" and "Hide unwriteable".
While writing, I would be happy to hear if and how ReadyNAS does allow to force "correct" Unix protection masks and ACLs according to the Share access settings recursively to a complete shared folder tree. AFAIK any changes are just added or removed - the ACLs can't be recreated as on other vendor NAS OS.
