I have learned my lesson not to report anything because I will make it worse for others 
.
Currently I have and it works OK:
OpenWrt 22.03-SNAPSHOT / LuCI openwrt-22.03 branch git-22.083.69105-af8e91c
ksmbd-server 3.4.2-1
ksmbd-utils 3.4.2-1
kmod-fs-ksmbd 5.10.108+3.4.3-220330.56946
can you show your config ?
I use 22.03 rc1
ksmbd-server 3.4.2-2
ksmbd-utils 3.4.2-2
kmod-fs-ksmbd 5.10.111+3.4.3-1
Thanks

I suppose I've also fallen into the 'not working ksmbd' ship!
I've just sys-upgraded my TP-Link c2600 from 21.02.2 => 21.02.3 release
All seems OK apart from ksmbd not playing ball!
21.02.2 worked fine using:
ksmbd-server - 3.4.4-1
kmod-fs-ksmbd - 5.4.179+3.4.4-1
luci-app-ksmbd - git-21.295.66827-c592d0a
now not working with 21.02.3:
ksmbd-server 3.4.2-2
kmod-fs-ksmbd 5.4.188+3.4.4-1
luci-app-ksmbd git-21.295.66827-c592d0a
I'm really limited for space so want to try and keep ksmbd working.
Is it possible to downgrade the .03 versions to the .02 versions? I tried but saying there for a different architecture.
Or is there another way or fix?
Followed this advise - https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/issues/9639#issuecomment-1106182954
Shares work on virtual x86/64
Negative result on Archer C7v4:
kmod-fs-ksmbd 5.4.188+3.4.4-1
ksmbd-server - 3.4.4-1 = Snapshot ksmbd-server_3.4.4-1_mips_24kc.ipk (Feb 15)
Are the ksmbd packages going to be updated (in master) for a fix before the next Openwrt release?
Hi there, I'm using openwrt (OpenWrt 21.02-SNAPSHOT r16521-b1c3539868) with ksmbd (3.4.4) and everything works except accessing shares on macosx 10.13 sierra (it's old but laptop is old without the possibility to update it). Once I try to connect to share i'm getting an error saying 'Perhaps server doesn't exist or is unavailable this time. Check server name or IP and make sure your connection works properly' or 'no shares available or you don't have rights to access it' depending on whether i try to access via smb:// or cifs://. The thing is I can see samba host in Finder. Anyone knows how to solve that issue? Thanks.
Edit: ok, creating /etc/nsmb.conf file in MacOS and adding the following line (it forces SMBv2) solved that issue
protocol_vers_map=2
Update, I tried 22.03- rc1 again and now ksmbd seems to be working with me (with 3.4.4 versions). The packages must've been updated since my first try (unless I did something wrong first time or I'm going crazy). Using ea6350v3 (linksys) router.
Good day.
I have a WDR4300 and I successfully managed to get ksmbd working. I have a 500GB HDD with exFAT plugged into USB2.0 in my router, and I can see my shared drive and write to it in Windows 11. The problem is that it hangs on copying anything bigger than couple hundred megabytes. When I copy small files (<1GB) the speeds are acceptable to me ~12MB/s. But on bigger files Windows shows unexpected network error. Afterwards when I try to delete the ghost file from the shared drive, dmesg outputs "ksmbd: Failed to send message: -32", fails to delete it and the router completely crashes.
I'm on 22.03-rc1
I've installed latest ksmbd from master branch on Belkin RT3200 and configured it but the share doesn't show up under Network on Windows 10/11. It shows when I put IP address of the server.
\\192.168.1.1\share
Is there anything I've missed. Thanks.
Yes the wsdd2 package.
Super.
Working now... Thanks a lot.
Unicode name contains characters that cannot be converted to character set default. You might want to try to use the mount option nls=utf8.
This is what I get using NTFS file system on a USB drive.
nls=utf8 should probably be default.
I've had bad to terrible performance using either ntfs or exfat partitions. Ext4 has been working great for me for quite awhile now. You may want to give that a try. I've been able to copy multi-GB files with no issues.
Hi all!
Could you help me with a problem? I hope I'm not SPAM-ing this topic.
My problem is that I can't create new files/folders and I also can't rename them on ksmbd. The config is basic and I can't find our the cause of it. The permissions are also should be OK.
Because of other version mismatch issues I installed the latest snapshot.
I can overwrite files if they are already there and if they have "777" permission.
The partition of the HDD is an ext4 partition (mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1).

How do you mount the drive?
I used this to mount:
uci add fstab mount # =cfg024d78
uci set fstab.@mount[-1].enabled='1'
uci set fstab.@mount[-1].uuid='632e8c42-502f-45ea-8206-08d31a8edba6'
uci set fstab.@mount[-1].target='/mnt/hdd1'
uci set fstab.@mount[-1].enabled_fsck='1'
uci commit fstab
But what is strange to me, is that I can write, if the file is already there and the permissions of the file are 777. In that case I can upload it again.
But the folder has 777 permission, but I can't upload new files or rename old ones. Something about the new path ... ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Here is the output of mount
root@NG-R6260:~# mount -v | grep 'dev/s'
/dev/sda1 on /mnt/hdd1 type ext4 (rw,relatime)
Have you tried?
chmod 777 -R /mnt/hdd1
Or
chmod 777 -R /mnt/hdd1/*
Did you name the share?
I did chmod it a few times but no success with these:
chmod 777 -R /mnt/hdd1
chmod 777 -R /mnt/hdd1/*
chmod 777 /mnt/hdd1
But I thought let's try this, and it worked 
chmod 777 -R /mnt
Strange (at least to me, but I'm not a linux expert 
)
Thanks for taking the time and trying to help me! I think I would have not try this if you would have not make your suggestion.
