SMB partially Broken after update to 6.10.2 - RN314
Hi,
Bit of an urgent post (as if everyones are not) but after a Firware update to 6.10.2, SMB appears to be partially broken. Users can access the shared drives as normal, however they can only see limited folders (or in this case, 1 out of 100). Rebooted the NAS as well as the users who are suffering. I can access the data on the NAS itself via HTTPS but not through a Windows 10 (or 7) PC. Any help, or direction to look in, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Nick

EDIT : Sorted the Workgroup to Workgroup as suggested by many on upgrading - but no luck. Interestingly, it seems that I can get to most of the other drives, but the one with the data needed......

The workgroup setting is purely organizational and informative, neither authoritative nor restrictive since it was introduced with Windows 3.0 around 1990. Amazing how these tales are still up...
Leaving a corrupt file system alone (a file system check wold be a good idea!), when folders and/or files are not visible or accessible, this is typically caused by effective access loss (easy to happen when co-accessing shares by using NFS, by rsync, ....) due to restrictive Unix protection masks, restrictive ACLs, ... probably paired with the SMB Plus (or manually) added "Hide unreadable" and "Hide unwriteable".
While writing, I would be happy to hear if and how ReadyNAS does allow to force "correct" Unix protection masks and ACLs according to the Share access settings recursively to a complete shared folder tree. AFAIK any changes are just added or removed - the ACLs can't be recreated as on other vendor NAS OS.

Go to the shares page in the web ui, and click on the settings wheel for the effected share. Then select "settings". Navigate to the file access tab, and then click on reset. That will recursively reset the file/folder permissions for everything in the share, so they will match the permissions shown on the file access page. There should be a pop-up when it completes (it will also be in the log).
