Firmware 6.5.1 - SMB down after reboot
After firmware update of my ReadyNAS 716 from 6.5.0 to 6.5.1 the SMB service on all of my shares kept down after reboot. Therefore the device was unaccessible from Windows.
After having reenabled the SMB protocol on one of my shares manually by moving the slider in the GUI, SMB comes up on all of my shares automatically, not only the choosen one. That behaviour is reproducible after each reboot.
Therefore a fix for the problem was quite easy, but I hadn't observed this behaviour before.
BTW: My other ReadyNAS 516 comes up after upgrade to 6.5.1 without any problems.
I want share this information to he community. Maybe that there is a problem in he 6.5.1 release.
Best Regards
Udo

Hi udolein,
Welcome to the community!
This seems odd. Was this behavior evident on a plugged in USB storage in your ReadyNAS? I suggest that you report this problem via support (Chat).
Kind regards,

NETGEAR Community TeamI'm also having problemsn with SMB after upgrading to 6.5.1. In the last weeks I turned off AFP acces - because Apple is moving away from AFP - and have set SMB acces to all shares. This worked excellent, but now after upgrading to 6.5.1 SOME of my shares are not accesible, while SOME are....
I get an error message saying something like "the operation can not be completed bacause original entry for share MAIN-Software can not be found" (original errormessage in Dutch). When I check through the admin page, all shares are present and hold information.
Any clues ????

Hi whgmkeller1,
Welcome to the community!
Can you confirm if the ReadyNAS or the said share is mounted in your MAC? Also, have you tried disabling the SMB service in the admin page? Or perhaps resetting the permission of the affected shares?
Looking forward to your response.
Kind regards,
