Samba 4.1.17 for ReadyNAS Duo v1 (sparc) [Redux]
A while back another user here posted some very good instructions on how to enable SMB3 on the original Sparc-based ReadyNAS Duo units (mine is an RND2000). However, these have since stopped working ...
A few corrections because it won't let me edit the original post:
- Note that RAIDar 6 has a bug that makes it ignore the RAID version you select during initial setup and initialise with RAID1 anyway. Use RAIDar 4 instead. Once initialised after the factory reset double check in FrontView that it has actually chosen the RAID version you selected
- Before executing step 7 you have to create the directory /etc/appt/ using
mkdir /etc/appt
- In step 19 [YOURSERVER] should be the hostname, not the IP address. The value of 'Dialect' in the output should be 3.0.
Thanks for this update!! I have a Duo V1 that serves as a backup NAS to my primary NAS. While I do sometimes connect to it directly from my Win11 desktop, it isn't often enough to warrant messing with it at the moment.
I have bookmarked this thread so I can get back to it quickly if/when I'm ready to make the jump.
Thanks Again!
So this can only be done with a freshly factory defaulted NAS? That's a shame if true, as that'll likely cause some to forgo it.
Since you had to create a user, what happens with the default admin user?
Obviously, this should work on a NV+ V1 as well.
It is far better to use a tool such as Notepad++ than standard Windows Notepad when creating files for a Linux system, as it can be set to save files with the proper Linux EOL (LF only) where standard Notepad always uses a CRLF.
It's possible it might be fine without resetting to defaults, I had just assumed that that step was in for a good reason in the original guide.
Default admin user is still there, but it creates a new user that shows in the FrontView under Security > User & Group Accounts.
It seems like there might be a performance hit, when copying large files I max at 50MB/s reading from NAS and 13MB/s writing to NAS. Memory and CPU usage are all near 100%. I'm not sure how this compares to its usual operation though as I only received this NAS and added disks this morning (WD Red Plus 2TB x 2 in RAID0 so definitely not a bottleneck). I'm going to try and upgrade the RAM to see if that improves things but it's possible this is just the limit of the old hardware.
Also to add, don't forget to enable http/s on your share under Shares > Share Listing or it won't appear in Explorer or hostname/shares!
Odd, I replied earlier today but my post is not showing up. I did receive a notification that someone replied (apparently you and Sandshark) but no sign of my reply. Let's see if this one sticks. Funny, my Kudo to you still shows.
I noted in the original post about the "Factory Reset" as the first step. Since mine is working OK as a backup to my primary NAS, I've decided to leave it alone for now.
Thanks for the updated procedure. I've bookmarked it for future reference.
