Create a new local account. How to create a Home Folder Share?

[kamanwu]

My current OS verson is: 6.9.4

I have created a local account: (eg: abcd).   I want he could have a home directory (with password protected) which can access from windows 10 (via smb).

I found this: https://kb.netgear.com/7027/ReadyNAS-OS-6-Creating-a-Home-Share,  BUT I do not have the option "home folders" on settings page.

I try to do it by myself, just go to "shares" to create a new share.  When I type the name 'abcd',  it says: "creation of abcd share leads to disabling of home folder of user abcd. Do you want to continue?"

What should I do?

I amswer this question by mself.

For what ever reason.  my windows 10 has smb v1 enabled.  After  I disable the smb v1 client.  It works like linux.

I think it's windows 10 problem.  I do can access the share folder:  smb://11.11.11.11/abcd with correct user/pass when I use Linux

Do I need do somthing in windows 10?

As I noted on your other thread - the SMB v1 client wasn't the problem.

This KB article is not applicable - it clearly says "This article is relevant only between ReadyNAS OS 6.0.1 and 6.1.9."

Applicable is How do I configure home folders on my ReadyNAS OS 6 storage system? ... however you seem to have this in place on the RN already.

The presence of the CIFS/SMB 1.0 client on Windows 10 does not change the behaviour, as Windows and the NAS will negotiate to the highest/best SMB protocol during the connection set-up.

@JohnCM_S or @Marc_V:  Can you have this article taken down?  The risk of confusion outweights the benefit.  6.2.0 was released in 2014.
