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 runnin...
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,

or enable secure diagnostic in NAS admin GUI =>System=>Settings=>Supportthen PM me 5 digital.
Thank you SO MUCH for a truely profesional answer.
You really rock !!!!!!!! :-):-):-)
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.

This is a 6.8.0 issue for Linux SMB access on Arm NAS, don't need to change after every update, we have put a patch on update server, only need to restart your NAS and wait for 5-10 minutes.
i'm having the same issues with SMB access since applying the 6.8.0 update: my Kodi player can see the shares but I can't add folders. I tried restarting the NAS but it did not change the problem. Thanks.
Do you have the "Enhance MacOS" option checked? If so, try disabling it. You could also try 6.8.1 beta, since there is a fix identified in its release notes.
I have a Sony Android TV , the smb share is still a problem, as I cant change anything inside the tv to connect to the nas.
There is mentioning of restarting the NAS, and waiting for 5 minutes, then reconnect and it should work, but still no way to get it working.
There is also a mention about and Update for the NAS, witch I cannot find...
How can i get my NAS to reconnect (work SMB) with Android devices I have? ( Sony TV, Tablet, Samsung Phones?)

I had the 6.8.0 Version for several days, I restarted the NAS many times as i was having issues with owncloud after the update. Hoever it seems to me it never took the patch. I had to revert back to 6.7.5 and then SMB was fixed. hopefully it will work directly in the 6.8.1.
Could do you please download 6.8.1 Beta? it fixed the issue.
