After upgrade to 6.8.0 KODI 7.3 can't acces samba shares, on macOS side evrything working well. KODI on Windows working without any issue.

After degraded to 6.7.5 evrything back to normal.

 

Any sugestion?

  • You should not use smb.conf to make this change because smb.conf can be ovewritten at any time by the system.

    Please place your changes in /etc/frontview/samba/smb.conf.overrides. You just need the 1 line that has your changes. 

    vfs objects = acl_xattr snapper btrfs


    The overrides will take place after reading smb.conf

    Did you try enabling the macOS optimizations after you upgraded to 6.8.0?

        I reproduced the issue when try to access NAS via SAMBA in linux OS,

        The issue happen on Arm NAS only, X86 NAS is oK.

        Thanks for your report,

        The issue will be fixed if you change ""vfs objects = aio_linux acl_xattr snapper btrfs" to " vfs objects = acl_xattr snapper btrfs" in smb.conf. Samba 

        Steps,

        1. Enable SSH in Admin GUI settings,

        2. Access to NAS via SSH, user: root, password is your password when login admin GUI,

        3. Run comand " vi /etc/frontview/samba/smb.conf.Samba",

        4. Press "i" key on PC's keyboard,

        5. Change "vfs objects = aio_linux acl_xattr snapper btrfs" to "vfs objects = acl_xattr snapper btrfs"

        6. Press "Shift" + "!" key on keyboard, and input "wq" to save the configure

         

        if you don't  know how to change the config, could do you please let me remote access to your NAS via secure diagnostic mode and help you change it?

        How to enable secure diagnostic,
