Re: ReadyNAS (104) - OS6.10 - SMB wont active (can't start from SSH too)

Finally got it solved! I was able to start the SMB service again just by deleting an invalid entry in my /etc/frontview/samba/smb.conf.overrides file. the entry was like "max protocol = null" . so this part was blocking the start of SMB service. just by deleting this, SMB was up. This saved me at least a week of data restoraion time. 

 

Thanks for the support!

Did you try an OS reinstall?

 

If that fails, then the simplest (though time-consuming) path is to do a factory reset, reconfigure the NAS, and restore the files from backup.

Yes, did an OS Reinstall. no change. its about 6.5TB of data. already backed up (for several days), Now I don't want to go through the pain of reinstalling it for another week or so. I would rather try to SSH and fix SMB issue, at the end of the day its debian linux, so I am hoping a linux guru may help me out here. I like a challange, so don't want to just reset to factory default.
