How to modify samba config with raidiator 4.2.31

I have a need, if possible, to enable SMB2 on an ultra 4 plus running raidiator 4.2.31. I have read that it is possible with this version of OS to edit /etc/samba/smb.conf to include specifications

min protocol = SMB2

max protocol = SMB2

in /etc/samba/smb.conf.

However, this file is auto-generated, so this does not work.

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to get this unit to enable SMB2? I know this is probably not the optimal long-term solution.

thanks

BTW I see that there is a file /etc/default/config/etc/samba/smb.conf on the system. Would editing this work?

  On an Ultra4, you are much better off upgrading to OS6. Besides getting SMB3, you get a completely up-to-date OS and even the ability to move the drives over to a new NAS if you decide to upgrade or if your Ultra dies.

    I agree that is the best approach. You will need to back up all your data, since the conversion process is destructive. Also, you won't be able to use Netgear paid support (since they don't support the conversion).
