Enable SMB 2 on ReadyNas x86 v4.2.31
Is it possible to enable SMB 2 on legacy ReadyNas devices running SAMBA 3.6?
If your Windows version gives you a free NFS client, you could also potentially switch to that: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/No-access-to-shares-after-disabling-SMB1-as-recommended-by/m-p/1288675/highlight/true#M130371 Then disable SMB altogether.
You could also try adding the following lines to the [global] section of the /etc/samba/smb.conf file and rebooting the NAS:
min protocol = SMB2
max protocol = SMB2
SMB2 support is only "experimental" in your version of SAMBA, so you might run into issues.
OR, convert your ultra to run OS 6, and that will give you SMB3 support.

The SMB2 support in Samba 3.6 is experimental, but you can enable it via SSH.
I would stick with SMB1 on it.
So I have two options:
Go against Microsoft's advice and enable SMB1 on my PC
OR
Go against Netgear's advice and enable SMB2 on my NASWhich option would you recommend?
If I want to take my chance with SMB2 on my NAS (as I'm just using it as a backup duplication repository), how I do I enable it via SSH?
Thanks.
