F4-210 SMB streams_xattr not working [SOLVED]

[jcn3k123jcms]

F4-210
4.2.43
Using ios 18 files to access SMB, but showing read-only. Tried searching internet and found a solution by adding "vfs objects = streams_xattr".
However, whenever I edited the /etc/samba/smb.conf file, saved it, and reboot the services. The new line I added will be overwritten.
Whats the correct way to enable vfs_streams_xattr ?

========================================================
Update:
tried to use the smb-extends.conf and it seems not being overwritten. However, streams_xattr seems not working properly

Code: Select all

It seems streams_xattr is enabled, but smb is trying to load the module from '/work' dir which doesn't exists

Please note that there may be a default setting of 'vfs objects = full audit' in smb-extend.conf.
There is no corresponding streams_xattr.so library file on the system. Even if you manually add this library file, we cannot guarantee that it will work with iOS 18.

yeah, I realized the root cause is there's no streams_xattr.so in the system. Is there any work around so that iOS 18 can have proper access to SMB?

You may consider installing apps that support SMB to connect to F4-210, as they might offer better compatibility.

I'm not owner of F4-210, but the SMB connection that comes with iOS is difficult to use, so I've been using an SMB/FTP connection app. there are a lot of these types of tools in the Apple APP store, so maybe one of them will be useful and enjoyable for you.

Thanks. I had the same issue on my F2-210 and it worked for me!
