Openmediavault 6 SMB folders not showing to some devices on the network

[addicted2tech]

I had this problem where my Nvidia shield TV and my Android smartphone just would not detect any of my SMB shares from my Openmediavault 6 server. After some troubleshooting, I found that using NetBIOS is required for browsing shares to work https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/fo ... e/2743730/.

If you run into the same issue you can enable netbios by SSHing into your server and running the following as root in the terminal:

Code: Select all

omv-env set OMV_SAMBA_NMBD_ENABLE "YES"
omv-salt stage run prepare
omv-salt stage run deploy

You should now see your SMB shares on all devices across the network.

It might also help to add the line: server min protocol=NT1 into the SMB/CIFS Extra Options in OMV6 GUI

Let me know if this helped anyone.

Hello,

I'm just confirm that your solution is absolutley worked.

My IP camera couldn't see the OMV6 network smb share but after I turned on the netbios within the salt the camera can see the smb share folder.

I've been looking for a solution for weeks so thank you for your info.

Just to add. With the recent changes in OMV6 they have made it much easier to do this. Now you can easily enable SMB1 in Services/SMB/CIFS/Settings. Then tick the "Enable NetBIOS" box and set the "Minimal protocol version" to SMB1.
