no i did try manually allowing symlinks with a smb.conf.add but I deleted it. it seems the problem was a permission issue though as if I create the link on my router it works fine
yup everything using smb2
EDIT: huh it does seem to be some permission issue . just tried creating a test symlink in a ssh session on the router and that does show up on my linux PC windows also
Yes my Windows laptop does not show any of the links and so does my linux desktop PC the links are just missing on both OS
No I'm not trying to point outside the share. I'm trying to point to a folder within the share that is several folders deep for easy access
the symlinks show up and work...
I'm trying to host my USB connected to my Asus router on my network.
The disk is formated ext4 and has some unix symlinks that point to various places within the share for easy access.
Both my windows laptop and my Linux desktop running bazzite (fedora atomic) are unable to see these symlinks...
Didn't even know it was recommended to umount the USB before updating😓
that may explain why my entware install was broken on my USB! (found out by plugin in the USB after a successful boot and ssh into the router)
after using amtm to reinstall entware I was able to reboot with the USB plugged...
After updating to the latest update 3004.388.7 my router no longer fully boots.
lights will turn on, and the Wi-Fi gets initialized, but there is no internet connection, and I can't connect to the router's web UI or SSH from a computer that is wired directly into the router with ethernet. If I...
same issue as https://www.snbforums.com/threads/updated-busybox-now-i-cant-download-opkg-updates.77827/
fixed by removing entware busybox
when trying to update entware through amtm I get this
```
Entware update check failed:
bin.entware.net unreachable...
fixed it the issue was indeed that the smb 2 used by the router is older than the smb used by my arch system had to specify the min client version as SMB2_02
how do I get more verbose logging? I did find that the smbclient has a -d parameter to set debug level but doesn't show anything that looks immediately useful https://bpa.st/CGFA but looks like it might be something configured on my arch linux system samba config mismatching with the routers as...
yeah that my arch linux system just wanted to show that my system is configured for SMB2 as for the router Ill post its smb config but I never messed with it manually
as from what I understand, the issue I'm getting is because of mismatch smb protocol versions.
here is my router smb config...
yeah and my smb (on my arch system so its configured to only accept SMB2 servers) config looked like this before I followed that guide
https://bpa.st/BGQQ
yeah but it wasn't working out of the box giving me
protocol negotiation failed: NT_STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER
even when specifying -m SMB2
which is why I stumbled on that article and was able to get it working by following those instructions and using smb1
As the title says, I can only get SMB sharing to work if I follow this guide https://steve.maraspin.net/posts/geek-stuff/asus-router-samba-share-issues-with-linux-fixed/ and configure both my router and system (Arch Linux) to use SMB protocol 1. Configuring both to SMB2 causes
smbclient -L...
