Hi there, I need some urgent help as I recently hard reset my Readynas 102 and while this process went ok and i reinstalled the 4.5TB of data I am now unable to activate SMB as a service.

Thanks Retired_Member appreciate your help but i couldnt downgrade - was already on 6.9.4 Hotfix 1 - so managed to upgrade to the Beta and now on 6.9.5 RC1.
Unfortunately the SMB is still not working and when i run a status command via SSH get the below. Any other help would be great!

Well, next thing I would do is an OS-Reinstall, but you already did this. However you did this being on 6.9.4HF1, right? So it will not hurt to do that again with 6.9.5RC1, I assume.
How full is the OS partition?
Are you seeing the shares you expect when you enter ls /data ?
The storage is approx 85% full. Response below for command.
root@phs989NAS:~# ls /data
ls: cannot access '/data': No such file or directory
Just realised my storage is named 'READYNAS' not 'data' so ran again and this is correct.
root@phs989NAS:~# ls /READYNAS
home Movies Music Pictures Video
Whats in the logs?
# dmesg
# cat /var/log/samba/log.nmbd
# cat /var/log/samba/log.smbd
Last 2 commands return the below
root@phs989NAS:~# cat /var/log/samba/log.nmbd
root@phs989NAS:~# cat /var/log/samba/log/smbd
cat: /var/log/samba/log/smbd: No such file or directory
Does that seem right?
