@homelab1, That sounds like a permission issue on the Linux directories.
I can see that @pcHome suggested this but do not see if we ever confirmed it.
Could you jump in the terminal and run “ls -al /tank” this will give us what permissions are set
You can also do this in the navigator by going to the /tank directory and looking on the right-hand side
You can also check this under the share path in the filesharing tab here
It will bring up a window like this

I matched the setting above and I still can only view the share in Windows but can’t access the directory to make changes.
What would be the permissions above and below that path?
If you use nagivator does it show 777 on the above and below?
are you using a local user? and is your user in the smbuser group?
Also do you have SELinux disabled?
SELink is disabled, I have tested with the local user which was added to smbuser group as detailed in the manual.
What are your permissions on your /tank and your/tank/share? It should be owned by root:smbuser and be 770 for you to have read and write and execute access.
Thanks that finally worked. How do I improve file transfer speeds between Hl15 on duel SPF ports and Windows PC with SPF?
HI @homelab1, It is hard to tell exactly what you could do without knowing your exact setup and current performance.
Much of it would come down to your RAID configuration and the data you are moving.
If you would like to purchase an hour of 45Drives Support Time one of our specialists could connect with you to look over your setup and determine the best configuration for your use case if you would like
So SMB is a strange beast, but it’s so common that it’s hard to avoid. When you say “dual SPF” do you have them in Lag/LACP?
A few days ago Mitch from 45Drives started on his usual shenanigans and sorcery tuning an HL15 to get the highest transfer speed he could on SMB. It involved using SMB multichannel and actually taking the 10GbE links out of LAG for this test.
I am just getting setup and this thread worked to get my samba share working.
After I turned off SE Linux, I get the message “Setting deviates from the configured state and will revert on the next boot.” – is there any way to either turn off SE Linux for good, or even better, get samba working with SE Linux?
You can edit the /etc/selinux/config file and change it to “Permissive” or disabled" this will then persist on reboot
Is it possible to just disable it for Samba?
No, SELinux is a security protocol that affects thew entire system. it is only present on RHEL OS and there is no way to disable it only some software
