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.

also, see that smb.conf doesn't like the min protocol line

SMB1 isn't a legal value (see https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/current/man-html/smb.conf.5.html#SERVERMAXPROTOCOL )  You could use NT1, but if you want to allow SMB1 for now, it's simpler just to leave the min protocol line out.

ok thanks for all the help Stephen, appreciate it.

 

I did a factory reset and everything is fine now over Windows 10. I have the loud fan noise but will find and install EnableFanMinRPMOverride_0.1 (which worked for me back in the day).

 

If I decide to buy a new ReadyNAS, will my current hard drives work in it?

    You won't be able to migrate your drives, as the newer NAS use a different file system.

    Sorry, that's not what I meant. I would wipe these drives first. My question is do the newer Netgear NAS' support these HHDs' SATA  interface? Can they pop in the new enclosures for a (new) backup ? Or all NAS from Netgear SSD, i.e.?

    The drives themselves are compatible with current ReadyNAS.
