Samba 3.6.25 build for ReadyNAS NV+ v2
My brother was having difficulties connecting to his ReadyNAS from his work laptop running Win10, and asked if I could enable SMB2 on his NAS (he couldn't install SMB1 compatibility as the laptop is ...
I've created a Samba 3.6 add-on using the old ReadyNAS Add-On SDK (thanks mdgm for the pointer). The initial release can be found at:
https://github.com/sshambar/readynas-arm/releases/download/Samba36-3.6.25-1/Samba36_3.6.25-1.bin
Once installed, the add-on will run the new Samba 3.6 version. There's an option to disable SMB2 support if you want, but it's probably best to leave it enabled. If the add-on is disabled (or removed), the original 3.5 Samba server is restored and started. Re-enabling the add-on will again start the new 3.6 version.
I also created scripts and Makefiles so if anyone wants to rebuild (or fix) the add-on, it's pretty easy. Basically the add-on is a wrapper around a debian package (to allow removal), which is built from the binary tarfile.
The READMEs describe how it all works, but if you have the various SDKs installed, you should be able to build everything without difficulty.
Let me know if you have any problems.

Thanks for posting this!
I don't have own the NV+ v2, but I suspect many folks will find this useful.
I get the dreaded "Unknown server error" when I try to upload this to my Duo V2. But that may not be a fault with the package itself.
Unknown server error is caused by browser.
I had the same problem.
Use old Internet Explorar and it works.
The message "Unknown server error" is because You use Chrome or newer browser.
Try using older Internet Explorer and it works.
