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?

How to enable secure diagnostic,

  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

    Hi All,
    
    We put a patch on update server, if you see the issue on Arm NAS, only need to restart NAS and wait for 5-10 minutes,
    
    It will work.
