Suggestion for MyCloud poor responsiveness over Samba

I was having trouble with MyCloud taking a long time to appear in File Explorer, as well a mysteriously failing to respond after being in use for a while. I resolved this issue by a) making my router the Samba Master Browser (requires compatible firmware), and b) editing the Samba configuration file on the MyCloud to remove it from Master Browser contention. /root/etc/samba/smb-global.conf [global] local master = no domain master = no preferred master = no os level = 0

Firmware 4.05.00-315 Discussion

The domain master was already configured for no in the smb-global.conf on my unit. Here are the three “master” entries in my smb-global.conf. local master = yes domain master = no preferred master = auto os level = 5 I wonder if local master, preferred master and os level need be changed? Yep.
