Samba 4 installation

fumantsu · 28. März 2016

Anyone manage to install samba4 via backports?

People have tried it and it has been successful in everything I have read. The plugin in OMV does not take advantage of any of the new features though.

Well there is some advantage. Beside speed, Samba 3.6.6 is using as max protocol SMB 2.0(introduced on Windows 7) which on Windows 10 (and what I read on forums, Windows 8, 8.1 as well) is causing serious issues when trying to open a .exe file (Error "The parameter is incorrect"). The solution is to set the max protocol version to NT1 with anything means this or of course follow the SMB version of Windows (needs at least SMB 2.1).

I guess I was thinking more about the active directory additions. The smb3 protocol will definitely help people unlucky enough to be using Win10 OMV 3 will use samba4 by the way.

By opening you mean executing? Execution is disabled (by default) on Data Drives anyway.

I'm getting error message Parameter is incorrect. I search it and people (also with Windows 8.1) have various solutions but for me the one that played was to disable SMB2. According to the man pages and changelog, Samba 3.6.6 is supports SMB 2.0 (introduced on Windows 7). After that there are more SMB 2 versions which introduced on Windows 8 and 8.1 till SMB 3 on Windows 10 and all these versions are supported only on Samba 4.

Um, actually it might also work with smb version below 2, did you try that?

Yes, that is what I done. I'm running now on SMB 1.5. With cost of speed and other features of course but better than copy locally....

Guess you have to wait for 3.0 to hit stable to have those benefits again.
