ReadyNAS 212 - 2 issues I cannot resolve
I have done considerable research and tried a number of suggested fixes, but have been unable to solve 2 issues. I have a ReadyNAS 212 with latest updates with 2 4TB disks set to raid 0 backing up to...
I rebooted with no change. Did a full shutdown with no change.
I took another look at NAS admin page System>Settings. Selected Enable SMB. Below that is SMB3 Transport Encryption. It was set to Configure per share. Remembering what you said about shares, I changed that setting to Configure globally.....Voila! SMB has the green stripe. I can now see my files in file exploer and the Windows 10 ReadyCloud app works as it should.
Thank you very much for sticking with me. I have been working on this off and on for 6 weeks. I try not to be the guy who doesn't give it a go alone before turning to the forums. I will enjoy selecting accept as solution.
Thanks again!
Have you rebooted the NAS since the problem started? If not, then that's something to try.

That is very interesting. My guess is that the SMB configuration files on the NAS somehow got corrupted, and that resulted in a failure of SMB to start up. Changing the setting caused the NAS to rewrite the configuration files, which (indirectly) fixed the problem.
If my guess is right, then if you were to change that setting back, the NAS would still work.
Anyway, that's an easy thing that other posters who can't get SMB to start on their NAS could try.

I'm glad I could help. Debugging SMB access can be challenging, thx for your patience.
