ReadyNas104 - cannot active SMB
I' ve upgrade the firmware from 6.7.5 to 6.8.0 the other day. After that I installed one app from the website but failed. And the app cannot be started or uninstalled from the website, so I used co...
Which APP did you installed?
It should be some low-quality app cause smb permission change from root to guest.
Please change all below file to root,

Thank you for your reply.
The app is LogAnalyzer. When installing, it tells there's some permission error about rsyslogs.
After uninstlling the app by apt-get, I checked the owner of files you metioned and changed owner to root.
At first, smb service can be activated. However, after reboot, smb service was turned off again.
Then I checked all the files owner and found almost of files in root directory were changed to guest:guest.
So I want to change owner of them all to root. But I make a big mistake.
root@z00-nas:/# chown root:root -R *
chown: changing ownership of 'DATA/home/admin/.ssh/ssh_authorized_keys': Operation not permitted
chown: changing ownership of 'home/admin/.ssh/ssh_authorized_keys': Operation not permitted
chown: changing ownership of 'proc/sys/debug': Operation not permitted
...
After reboot, I cannot ssh to the NAS anymore...
Because the user of the website is admin, I also cannot use website to change anything, inclued reinstall the firmware.
I tried to use boot menu to reinstall OS, but the boot menu only canbe selected to Nomal, neither OS reinstall or Factory default shown.
As I used X-raid, I cannot use other computer to read the data from the harddisk. Is there any other method to reinstall OS?
You could try paid support (my.netgear.com), and see if they can rebuild the OS partition.
If you are ok with losing the data, you could put the disks in a Windows PC and then unformat them. You can do that with windows disk manager (right-click on each "volume" and delete it).
Then reinsert the disks with the NAS powered down, and power it up. It will do a factory install.
