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 ...
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).
Yes, thanks for the adivce, I agree that upgrading to OS6 would be the optimal solution. For a few reasons it is not a viable option at this time. Running SMB2 is my desired workaround. I have no particular need for high performance, actually the SMB access is somewhat of a secondary function of this device.
BTW the last time I checked, I could not find the necessary files to upgrade. For example, in
there is reference to the needed files but no links to them unless I'm missing something. Can you point me to those files?
thanks

You could try this: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS-in-Business/Enable-SMB-2-on-ReadyNas-x86-v4-2-31/m-p/1455830#M139865
But I'm not sure if the setting will be sticky or not.
