Topic: Do not upgrade Netgear NAS Duo Firmware

[compsos]

Hi

Just in case anyone maybe using these units. I have been using one fine for the last couple of years, but made the mistake of upgrading the firmware from 4.1.6 to 4.1.7 when offered by the management program screens.

The result is
in the console

Code: [Select]

mount error(11): Resource temporarily unavailable
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs).or the email report

Code: [Select]

Backup of mysql databases has been done
Mounting backup shared directory nas/backup
*** No backup allowed or error during backup ***
Error while mounting nas:backup :
mount error(11): Resource temporarily unavailable
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

This link shows it as a general samba version issue.

The smbd on the nas is Version 3.0.37

A clumsy solution is to go to the Netgear site and download the togglessh and rootssh addons. Logon to the system and issue the command
/etc/init/samba restart. Then a connection can be made.

From the reports this does not appear to be permanent. To overcome this edit the
/etc/init.d/rc3 file with a line just before the exit with
/etc/init.d/samba/restart

So far it appears to be working.

At this stage only know it is affected  in SME8.

I'm pretty sure that you mean:

/etc/init.d/samba restart

Thanks Charlie
A typo after a frustrating chase as to why it just started rejecting the mount command but would load in the web browser with the same credentials.
