Enable SMB 2 on ReadyNas x86 v4.2.31
Is it possible to enable SMB 2 on legacy ReadyNas devices running SAMBA 3.6?
If your Windows version gives you a free NFS client, you could also potentially switch to that: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/No-access-to-shares-after-disabling-SMB1-as-recommended-by/m-p/1288675/highlight/true#M130371 Then disable SMB altogether.
You could also try adding the following lines to the [global] section of the /etc/samba/smb.conf file and rebooting the NAS:
min protocol = SMB2
max protocol = SMB2
SMB2 support is only "experimental" in your version of SAMBA, so you might run into issues.
OR, convert your ultra to run OS 6, and that will give you SMB3 support.
Thanks. I've already upgraded to OS6. Completely missed the BIOS step, hopefully it doesn't cause any lsting issues.
Do you know if you can still update the BIOS from OS6?
No I don't, I suppose you could go back to OS 4.2 to do it then install OS6 again :smileysad:
I think the BIOS update for the Ultra 6 was to address a WoL issue. If you're not planning on using that I wouldn't worry about whether the BIOS is out of date or not.
Thanks Team,
Its working for now and I must say it looks much nicer than the clunky old interface. I have not been able to install Plex yet, perhaps I need a reboot.
Sorry I didn't find the original thread :)
