SAMBA Still needs to be repaired

As @Denisimo stated, SAMBA is not working on Mac with the latest 4.6.8 firmware (MT6000). Running an ext4 USB hard drive. Had to revert to 4.6.6 OP24 to get SAMBA shares visible and usable for Mac OS.

If the format is ext4, it should be available in 4.6.8 / 4.7.0 and 4.6.6-op24, I tested on my router and works ok.

Please check the format first.

MT6000 with 4.6.6-op24 and 4.6.8 / 4.7.0
USB disk: ext4
Access on the MacBook: smb://192.168.8.1/disk1_part1


I said no such thing, please keep me out of it. Thanks.

Apologies for the mention. Perhaps I am misunderstanding something? I was referring to your post " Samba needs updating or a permanent solution. MT6000"

Your post gave me a solution (albeit via downgrade), so thank you. My post is seconding your post that is now closed.

It is EXT4. It was formatted that way for a previous dd-wrt router. It works and shows as ext 4 on the 4.6.6 OP24 firmware. It does not show on my Mac (latest OS- M1). My firmware doesn't look like your screenshots for either the newest version or the 4.6.8 (file services tab shows WebDAV and DLNA sections). I didn't see a 4.7. If I can back up everything and try that I will.

The USB disk EXT4 works normal in my MT6000 with the 3 version firmware, the Mac screenshot also on the MacBook M1, available to read and write. Try again please.

Yes, there are Samba, WebDAV, DLNA.

samba browsing is no longer working on 4.6.6 OP24 firmware, so we can rule out firmware version. What information do you need from me to troubleshoot this?
-Current MT6000 firmware: 4.6.6 OP24 firmware. Samba browsing worked for a few days.
-Mac OS: 15.2
-Currently able to samba browse other devices on the same network: HomeAssistant on RPi, Nvidia Shield, MacMini (samba connection).

Just installed latest firmware 4.7. No luck

hmmm, this is a little weird.

Can you provide AnyDesk for me to remote check?

The connected U-disk, can be formatted, data empty, since probably need to debug.
