The Netgear EVG2000 router has recently (it seems about 1 year ago) received more complete support - the WAN port finally worked, and the possibility of almost full use (except for telephone ports) appeared. I recently installed the latest firmware - OpenWRT 24.10 and decided to try installing it to use instead of the router I had before. Also, after the update, I connected a 16GB USB Flash, mounted 3 partitions - /overlay (512 MB), swap (256 MB), /mnt/usb (≈13.7 MB). Also, after mounting all this, I installed Samba - and here the problems began, I could not (and now I can't) "share" the largest folder for shared access. I have already tried a lot - different configurations - it doesn't work. And after some changes, an error started appearing:
RPC call to luci/getFeatures failed with error -32000: Object not found
at ClassConstructor.handleCallReply (http://openwrt.lan/luci-static/resources/rpc.js?v=25.123.45881~e061a5f-1746880807:11:3)
.
And now almost all menu items in the panel are not loading, except for the main page and the Samba settings page.
Did you perform the extroot process? If so, does the problem happen when the USB drive is removed?
Let's see your configs (with the USB drive in place):
Please connect to your OpenWrt device using ssh and copy the output of the following commands and post it here using the "Preformatted text </> " button:

Yes, I think I did extroot, because I have everything initialized - overlay and swap. Also (probably) the folder is mounted, because I can do cd /mnt/sda3 (because I changed the name from usb to sda3, because I thought maybe the name didn't fit).
Today, after installing new updates, the problem with the error in the web interface disappeared. But I still can't configure the samba server. Because there are many tutorials on configuring samba3.6 servers on OpenWRT. But the newer version samba4 doesn't seem to be described so well. I just need to be able to click "Map network drive" in Windows File Explorer and enter the router address \192.168.1.1 or \openwrt.lan and if necessary, the folder and that's it. Because before, I somehow configured it on the old version. But then there was another router, because this one couldn't work with the wan port. And now when I updated it - this is the problem.
I installed the update and now everything works fine except the file server. Of course, I won't update often in the future, it's just that this is the first setup and I decided to install everything that is there, and I installed something new - for example, the interface localization package.
From a config/ behaviour point of view, samba 3.6 and 4.x are largely identical. I only had to do only little janitorial work on that over the last >two decades.
Now, for example, I need to enter some data. But I didn't create any new users. Because it seemed to work without a user and password before. I tried the password from Wi-Fi and from the ROOT user - it doesn't accept it.
I also discovered that the "Allow guests" checkbox is not saved - I select it, click "Save & Apply", and make some changes, but it remains unsaved in the panel.
Does anyone have any ideas? The main thing is that it finds the path, but I still need login data. I can't understand - what could I have done wrong!? Maybe someone can test the work of Samba4?
I checked the configuration file - there seems to be nothing superfluous, everything is by default. Also, guest mode is enabled (although it is not displayed on the web panel).
Here is the output of the settings. I also tried to connect from Ubuntu, there in general - an error occurs. Although I still have a local network storage on debian - it connects to it normally, although you have to log in with a username and password. I have no idea what the problem could be .
I looked at the system log, there is an error related to Samba. Maybe one of the developers can tell me if this could have an impact?
