I am using the latest versin of the firmware, had the same Samba issue but used the script that i posted to downgrade to Samba 4.9 as 4.10.6 is just a trainwreak right now.

I have a Linksys WRT1900ACS V2. What should overlay be? Here it is from the previous build:
overlayfs:/overlay 11.5M 3.5M 7.4M 32% /
Worth noting that one of the benefits of these Linksys WRT routers is the USB 3.0 performance, it's some of the best of any router in reviews. On the stock Linksys firmware (based off a several years old OpenWrt and kernel 4.4.14) I was getting 80 MB/s read-write (yes megabytes) on my USB 3.0 portable hard drive. Works great and beats most NAS for storage and Kodi speeds.
Haven't done a speed test on the latest OpenWrt / Davidc502 builds recently, but I will soon. So yea if Samba 4.9 is more stable that should be included.
Sorry to hear that, samba 4.10.6 works fine on my system and passed the test of the PR reviewer as well. I try to investigate whats causing the issues, but so far cant reproduce the crash loop, which seems whats happening for some users.
If possible report the issues + logs in the samba thread so i can consolidate the current problems and see if i can reproduce/fix those or we need to revert back to 4.9.x.
thx

Could you tell me how to get it to log the crashes as it just says crash loop all the time in syslog and that's very much it. Which is not enough info.
Try add:
log level = 1 (or 2) in the global template and than check /tmp/log/samba or /tmp/log/smbd,nmbd.log

I'm very interested to see what speeds are obtained. In years past I've been disappointed in the results, so if you're getting good speeds this tells me you are doing something really right! and I'm doing it wrong which wouldn't surprise me 
What do you use to test transfer rates? And what size file do you use? I will test and compare.
For tests in the past I've just uploaded 1GB (Or larger) video and downloaded that same 1GB video, and essentially watched the transfer speeds. Throughput would always start off high, but then drop down to less than 1mbps after a few seconds and bounced up and down a little until the rest of the video was transferred.
Ok will give that a shot. I know it does Huawei phone backups well on 4.9 samba, only takes 5 minutes to backup 5GB.
Will let you know.
I have updated the script to include everything to get it working again now.
@davidc502 just tried to run the file transfer test and as soon as Windows laptop goes to send anything it simply crashes the samba4 server.
I'm probably thinking wrong, but twice what you have now, so 23MB.
@davidc502
Ok, if I should have 23MB, does this mean there is something I have setup improperly? If you give me some guidance on how to look I'd like to check it out.
I've never owned the V2 as I just skipped right over it, but it has 1/2 the NAND flash of the 3200acm (for example) then it should have roughly 1/2 volume space, but yours actually has 1/3.
Maybe there is something else going on that I am unaware of. I'll do some Googling and see if anything comes up.

I have a big troubles to build the image from source. In fact I'm trying to do that almost a week and did not reached even one single finished build yet. I strictly follow the instructions here https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/build-system/install-buildsystem and here https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/build-system/use-buildsystem. Building multicore fails every time on error even when using IGNORE_ERRORS=1. Now I'm building with -j1 and it already runs 13 hours and is still not finished. My CPU is an old AMD Phenom II X6 1090T, but I cannot believe that it is so slow. Moreover the build directory is almost 30GB large and still growing. I did use David's config.seed as .config before make menuconfing. Bud I can still see that a tons of "not useful" stuff is being builded. Is all that (build time and size) normal? Or am I missing or doing wrong something? Thx for any help.
I just finished building many, many images from the X6 1090T, and it's a fine processor to compile with, so no problems there.
Before you run make, are you running "make download -j6" ?
Also, IGNORE_ERRORS=50 is going to cover the build as there's a lot more than just 1.

What are the other specs? Which motherboard did you go for?
iirc (don't do this myself, but...)
IGNORE_ERRORS=m
was to skip all broken packages(as in installable, but not the main bits) when one is trying to build the works.
X570 Gigabyte Pro Wifi which I'm starting to think may have been a little bit of a mistake. The reason being this Mobo needs a better shield for the NVMe. The NVMe is stuck between the CPU and Video Card. The stock CPU cooler blows hot air right down on the NVMe not including the GPU which does the same! So I've run a "watch" script that monitors the CPU and NVMe temperatures, and the NVMe will climb to 55 Celsius without doing any disk tasks whilst under CPU load. One way to work around this issue would be to buy a different CPU cooler that does not direct hot air straight down to the NVMe. So, I may look at that option before long.

Hi David
[SOLVED] bizarre issue, for now reason whatsoever Minidlna has vanished from my WRT 1900 v1!!
Try to redownload it and I get the error
Collected errors:
- opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package minidlna.
im using the distribution feeds in the following format
src/gz lede_core https://dc502wrt.org/snapshots/r8289/targets/mvebu/cortexa9/packages
any hints as to who I can fix this? Im on Lede SNAPSHOT r8289-f4b7dfcc4b, so im well behind the cirve now, maybe I just need to upgrade?
all the best
