Local build of SMB plus for strict sync issue

Question

In this thread:&nbsp;TrueCrypt-container,&nbsp;Skywalker&nbsp;provided access to a "local build" of SMB Plus to disable strick sysnc, which was creating issues with Truecrypt/Veracrypt containers.&nbsp; I installed it and used that option.&nbsp; But for a couple revisions now, as he also announced in that thread, that option has been added to each share's configuration.&nbsp; I'm finally ready to upgrade my main NAS from 6.9.2, but want to confirm how I should go about disabling the "global" strict sync disable so i can do it only on the one share that needs it.
&nbsp;
I'm hoping all I need to do is uncheck the box for "disable strict sync" and then update.&nbsp; Should I also remove the local build SMB plus and replace it with the standard one once I upgrade?&nbsp; Reboot before initializing the update?
&nbsp;
Posting publicly instead of PM'ing Skywalker so,others can benefit.

In 6.9.5 there is a "strict sync" setting for each share that (share settings-&gt;network access-&gt;smb-&gt;advanced).

Yes, but 'm pretty sure I need to make sure I turn off he global setting that's currently there due to the special version of SMB Plus before I upgrade to a version with the option per share.

Maybe edit the config files with ssh after the upgrade?

I don't see how that is going to change something that was previously done globally.

It appears that the fix simply adds&nbsp;strict sync = no to&nbsp;/etc/frontview/samba/smb.conf.overrides, so I'm going to uncheck the box, verify it removed that line, and remove the special version of SMB Plus.&nbsp; Then reboot, upgrade, and install the standard SMB Plus.&nbsp; I was hoping to get some confirmation this was the appropriate action.

Likely I was misunderstanding your concern.&nbsp; I thought you were worried that the global&nbsp;strict sync = no&nbsp;wouldn't allow you to turn strict sync on for future shares if you wanted to do that.&nbsp; Removing the global setting manually would solve that.
