How do I enable (experimental) SMB2 support on my ReadyNAS DUO?
Hello, I have a ReadyNAS DUO (RAIDiator 4.1.16) that needs to have SMB 2 enabled so I can use it to backup (with Windows 10) over the local (home) network. I understand there is a way to SSH ...
You should be using root as the username, and the NAS admin password.
putty log says: padre unknown
Bitvise client says:
SFTP channel open
SFTP channel closed by server
Receieved exit code 0
closed by Server
You should be using root as the username, and the NAS admin password.
Thanks again Stephen,
I'm in. As I'm not a Linux admin (I do powershell on Windows), can you advise what I'll need to do in order to:
...add the following lines to the global section in /etc/samba/smb.conf a(nd reboot the NAS):
min protocol = SMB2 max protocol = SMB2

vi is the only editor that is already installed in the Duo. There is a guide for it here: https://www.tutorialspoint.com/unix/unix-vi-editor.htm
Another option is to copy the file to the data volume. Then you can edit it on a Windows PC, using notepad++ (which is freeware). There is an option in notepad++ in "edit" for EOL conversion. You need to set that to Unix (LF). Note the EOL conversion you are currently using is the one that is grayed out. When done, just copy the file back.
Either way, it's prudent to start by copying the file to something like smb.conf.orig, just to make sure that the original is preserved no matter what.
I'd like to do the copy to Windows and edit in Notepad ++ route but the vi tutorial doesn't describe two things:
- how to navigate to the path /etc/samba/
- how to save that file as a different name
- how to copy that file to the data volume on the Linux NAS
for the second item, I wouldn't want to take a chance and:
:f filename
Renames the current file to filename
If you can point to these items, I believe I'll be good with Notepad ++ and the EOL Conversion to Unix
