Samba/SMB share access issues with ReadyNAS OS 6.8.0 on RN202
Sir(s) et al
I've manually upgrade my RN202 from [ReadyNAS OS 6.7.5] to [ReadyNAS OS 6.8.0].
After the upgrade I wasn't able any more to access my samba/smb shares from my Linux computers running Manjaro Linux (some kind of Arch Linux) and Debian 9 Stretch (on a cubietruck):
- I can see/browse the shares, get asked for the credentials, but can't login to the share
- My Nextcloud installation has the same issues
- On a virtual Windows 10 i can access the shares
- Enable/disable the new MAC-OS feature didn't solve the problem
- Using the SMB Plus tool didn't solve the issue either
After a dirty rollback to [ReadyNAS OS 6.7.5] everything went back to normal/expected behavior. Another member seems to has reported a similar issue here:
Regards,
I reproduced the issue when try to access NAS via SAMBA in linux OS,
The issue hppen 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?

Any change that this code will be in future releases or do we need to change this after every update?
Without this change in smb.conf I can't connect from any Linux desktop to NAS through Samba.
Neither from Nvidia Shield TV - android - linux kernel
