System error 53 when attempting to connect via SMB

Updating an old TS-509 Pro V 4.2.6 with new disks (it’s been working with smaller disks for years). Backed it all up and installed new disks, it reverted back to factory settings. Updated all settings and configured everything, but now can not see shares via Net View command (Win10 cmd window). I also have a working TS-869 Pro that’s working just fine (can see those shares via Net View so I know my OS is working). I have set Workgroup to the proper name. Any other suggestions?

See if enabling smb 2 or 3 is possible on this very old NAS

Thank you for the input. I have tried that with the results:

[~] # smb2enable
“/usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd” … not found.
[~] #

So it appears it’s not a recognized command.

Also tried SMB 3:

[~] # smb2enable
“/usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd” … not found.
[~] # smb3enable
“/usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd” … not found.
[~] #

For reference, I’m using one of my oldest NAS:

[~] # head -n6 /etc/config/uLinux.conf 
[System]
Model = TS-559
Internal Model = TS-559
Server comment = 
Version = 4.2.6
Build Number = 20240618

What is your current max protocol?

[~] # smb2status

smbd (samba daemon) Version 4.0.25
smbd (samba daemon) is running.
max protocol SMB 3 enabled.

If that command fails, run this:

grep protocol /etc/config/smb.conf

Also, check the samba binaries are present:

[~] # ll /usr/local/samba/sbin
drwxr-xr-x    2 admin    administ      4.0k Jun 18  2024 ./
drwxr-xr-x    8 admin    administ      4.0k Jun 18  2024 ../

If-not, suggest reinstalling QTS 4.2.6

Thanks for the tips. It looks like I’m missing some things. Here are results from the commands you suggested:

grep protocol /etc/config/smb.conf

[~] #
[~] # head -n6 /etc/config/uLinux.conf
[System]
Model = TS-509
Internal Model = TS-509
Server comment = NAS Server 2
Version = 4.2.6
Build Number = 20240618
[~] # ll /usr/local/samba/sbin
ls: /usr/local/samba/sbin: No such file or directory
[~] #

I’m not sure how I would go about re-installing QTS 4.2.6. Is that spelled out somewhere?

I found the procedure to update the s/w. Working on that now. It’s loading. . .

Update has completed. It took a while to reboot, as expected. One of the messages that popped up after I logged back into the GUI was that SMB was updated. I then tried a Net View command and, Viola, I can now see my shares.

Thank you for all the help. The last time I played with *ix commands was 25-30 years ago on IBM AIX.

Now, back to the slog of restoring all of my files. Good day to all.

Bill
