Upgrading Samba from 4.2.14 to 4.6 or higher

kalleyne · 8. Juni 2017

Greetings.
What is the recommended technique to upgrade Samba on OMV 3.x? Certain applications may require Samba 4.6 or higher. Final Cut
Pro X 10.3 requires Samba 4.3.4 or later and so an upgrade method would be helpful.

With OMV 2.x, we used wheezy backports to upgrade Samba as seen in post #13 of this thread:
OMV Machine hangs randomly on large file transfers to OMV

Should we attempt something similar with OMV 3.x?

Thanks again.

Shouldn't be any problems. I would try first in a VM to test it first. Samba doesn't change that much their syntax or options.

I did this a long time ago, it was for creating a spotlight plugin for samba using the jessie backports to enable server search. Unfortunately I believe the tracker daemon did not behave very well (maybe too old), so I archived the plugin. I'll retake it again once omv reaches stretch
