No access to shares after disabling SMB1 as recommended by Microsoft
Hi everyone, in view of the latest WannaCry/Crypt attack on 12 May 2017, Microsoft recommended to patch my Windows 10 OS and disable SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support. Check this link: ht...
On RAIDiator 4.1 and RAIDiator 5.3, they use versions of Samba that do not support SMB2. You will need to use the Windows tricks to re-enable SMB1 support.
On RAIDiator 4.2, it can support SMB2 but you may experience a performance hit that you could find unacceptable.
We can see about creating an unofficial add-on for RAIDiator 4.2 boxes that you can use at your own risk to be use SMB2. These devices were not meant to run SMB2 though. All of the RAIDiator boxes are older than 5 years. It might be time for an upgrade.
If you are really concerned, you can unofficially upgrade most RAIDiator 4.2 boxes to OS 6 at the risk of factory defaulting your NAS and putting your data back onto the volumes. Alternatively, you can upgrade to a newer ReadyNAS and use the old ReadyNAS as a backup (always smart to have multiple backups, which eliminates single point of failure).

Note that if you do that, you can also disable SMB altogether on the backup NAS. That's what I've done on my 4.1.x NAS.
Thanks for the reply. I did see that it's possible to upgrade to OS6, but then saw a mention that the fans may run loud and that would be a problem for me.
Do you know if fan speed is still an issue with the unofficial OS6 on ReadyNAS Pro?
If this is resolved then I'll do the upgrade & factory reset.
Thanks in advance,
If you have the stock fans, the problem was resolved a long time ago. Some who have replaced their fans had problems that persisted longer -- I do not know if those have been resolved.
Thanks for the info on OS6.
I upgraded my unit to OS6 and all seems well.
Quite a mission to copy all the data off and factory reset it!
