Need Windows File Sharing on a low powered router? Samba not cutting it? Wanna really work for it? Try KSMBD!
NOT a CHANCE in HE "double hockey sticks"!
It is hopelessly broken in OpenWRT in several ways;
- Share the / (root) directory? Nope, busted. Supposedly fixed that issue in version 3.4.x (or close), but not for OpenWRT's 3.5.3 (as of 12.2024), still busted
- Windows 11? Ha! Oh, wait, if one enables Guest Access, then it work (sure, right)
- service ksmbd restart might break it and require a restart, so use stop and start (not fully tested, shouldn't need this level of examination, but sadly it does)
Would recommend Samba 3, but that's gone, so dog slow Samba 4.
