SMB Button Disabled - OS 6.7.4
Hi everyone.
Am having a bit of trouble with my ReadNAS 104 (OS 6.7.4) and SMB which now fails to activate.
About 2 days ago, everything was working perfectly. Had SMB running which all devices (win 10, android) could recognise etc.
Then I changed routers and everything seemed to go down hill from there. SMB would not load.
I changed back to the original router and still have the same problem.
Even attempted a OS reinstall but to no avail. At present, I cannot do a full factory reset without backing up to additional drives and would prefer to avoid this option if possible.
FTP works fine, as does the media server on all devices but when I attempt to activate SMB, the light either fails to illuminate, or when it does, does not stay active very long (usually only a couple of minutes).
Windows explorer fails to connect to the partitions although I can still access admin through the browser.
Is anyone able to please assist?
Regards
Greg
Might be time to use the nuclear option (factory reset and restore the NAS from backup).

Strange. Can you send me your logs (see the Sending Logs link in my sig)?
Perhaps try disabling IPv6?
- Tried that with no luck.
I've PM to you updated logs.After upgrading to RC 6.7.5, I am still having the same issues with SMB not activating.
Was wondering if it might be worth downgrading the firmware to 6.7.3 or 6.7.1?

Your logs show some OOMing.
Please make sure quotas are disabled on the volume. Also try disabling unneeded services.
