Services/CIFS SMB/Settings
To share the volumes and datasets defined on the NAS4Free system with Windoze users, CIFS/SMB must be enabled. Begin by checking the "Enable" box. Authentication: Anonymous Max Protocol: NT1 NetBIOSname: (your system's name) Workgroup: WORKGROUP Description: (may want to add machine name to default description) Local Master Browser: No (you probably already have one on your network) Time server: No (same goes for this) Large read/write: checked Use sendfile: checked Null passwords: checked (if you so desire) Asynchronous I/O (AIO): checked Click "Save and Restart" to save the changes. Incidentally, here is a little note about setting the "Max Protocol" value. There is a bug in Samba (https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8726) having to do with the SMB2 protocol which causes random crashes when large files are transfered from/to NAS4Free using SMB/CIFS. Until this bug is fixed and rolled into the NAS4Free build, it is probably a good idea to stick with "NT1" and not use "SMB2". Admittedly, this will force CIFS/SMB to run slower (due to the chattiness of the original SMB protocol) but it will work. After the bug is fixed, you should be able to turn SMB2 on and Samba will negotiate with its clients to use either SMB2 or NT1, depending on what they can hack.
Services/CIFS SMB/Shares
Each volume or dataset that is to be shared must be configured by clicking the "Plus" button.
