Smb.conf max smbd processes = 5, can we please have a little breathing room to a higher number?

Under the main data partition (#24) you have the /data/com.wdc.mycloud.samba/files/smb.conf with the max smbd processes =5. Is it possible to change this to something a little higher and make it stick? What happened is that you don’t necessarily have >5 concurrent clients writing to samba but it would be helpful to have the possibility of more connections without forcibly removing old or preventing new clients and you won’t get the dreaded //MyCloud-012345 … is not accessible errors all the time.

Thank you.

Hi @tekram,

Thank you WDC MCH development team. This appeared to have been corrected with the new FW 8.13.1-102. Example MCH device smb.conf shown below, notice the SMB versions and ntlm auth switch that disabled NTLM v1.
