OK, I found the bug that causes the behavior I reported in my post #70 

In /var/www/sys-config.php there's this nugget

Code:

// SMB
if (isset($_POST['update_fs_smb'])) {
       if (isset($_POST['fs_smb']) && $_POST['fs_smb'] != $_SESSION['fs_smb']) {
               phpSession('write', 'fs_smb', $_POST['fs_smb']);
               submitJob('fs_smb', $_POST['fs_nfs'], 'Settings updated', '');
       }
}

That last line (line 265 in my file) should be

Code:

               submitJob('fs_smb', $_POST['fs_smb'], 'Settings updated', '');

With this fix the SMB file sharing service is reliably accessible from my LAN when it's supposed to be.

I'd be interested to hear if making this fix affects the behaviors reported by others on this thread, some of which I still haven't figured out.

It prolly was the root cause.

This bug results in the SMB on/off setting using the NFS on/off setting thus if NFS is off then SMB will also always be off even when the toggle is ON :-0

It's fixed for upcoming 8.2.3 but in the meantime here's a patch for that php file. Just paste it at the command prompt and then restart the servers.

Code:

# Command to patch the file
sudo sed -i s"/submitJob('fs_smb', \$_POST\['fs_nfs'\]/submitJob('fs_smb', \$_POST\['fs_smb'\]/" /var/www/sys-config.php

# Restart servers
moodeutl -r

I have tried to replicate your network environment as closely as possible. In a nutshell, I'm unable to repro your issue.

Among the 2 dozen different devices on my LAN, I now have

1. my Linux Mint laptop
2. an RPi3A running as a moOde 8.2.2 player (let's call it 'A') which I'll use as an SMB client
3. a CM4 running as another moOde 8.2.2 player (let's call it 'B'). There's a USB thumb drive which is being served via SMB file sharing from this host (let's call the share 'B-Music').
4. an RPi3B running OMV 5.6.26-1 (let's call it 'C'). The SMB service on this host is enabled and serving a Music share (let's call the share 'C-Music').

From the moOde player A I can mount both B-Music and C-Music SMB file shares and see all their contents in A's Library views.

On the Linux Mint laptop, I can use the Caja File Manager to browse the network and see host B and host C. I can click on either one, then click on the Music share offered, and browse its contents.

Candidly, I did not expect otherwise, since this is how the SMB scheme is supposed to work. It seems to me that you may be having some sort of LAN-level issue, perhaps even at the router, which is causing the symptoms you describe. The first thought I had was perhaps it has to do with DNS/mDNS namespaces but that's pure speculation.

PS - about that OMV 5.6.26-1. I spent more time than I want to admit trying to build OMV on the latest raspbios lite x64 using the OMV install script (which their Wiki says would have resulted in OMV 6.0.x) and failed. Trying, instead to build OMV on the latest raspbios lite armhf (e.g., 32-bit) using the OMV install script worked first time out of the gate, resulting in OMV 5.6.26-1. All moOde players and the LMT are running 64-bit OSes.

it's working for me! thank you

Hi, Ray.

Just a note to say I *can* create and write into files on either SMB share.
