SMB quits working
Hi! Since yesterday I have increasing problems with my ReadyNAS 516. It runs 6 3TB harddisks, in X-RAID 6. It operates under OS 6.6.1. It has worked for quite a while since the update to 6.6.1 ...

Hello JennC,
thanks for your response.
I have now disabled AntiVirus on the NAS and will observe whether it runs stable again.
I will revert back in a couple of days.
Best regards,
Michael

Hi JennC,
After almost a week without AV the problem did not reoccur.
It would just be really good to use AV again. Any idea when the next stable release might be published?
Regards,
Michael

There is ReadyNASOS 6.7.0-T158 (Beta 1). There is no ETA as to when the production release will occur at this time.

I can confirm this issue is recurring. Logs show "System: Antivirus scanner found a threat (Heuristics.Broken.Executable) in the file /var/cores/core-smbd. Please delete the infected file soon if automatic delete setting is not enabled."
A reboot does help for a while. Disabling the AV seems to be the only stable solution.
