Transfer errors when adding a samba share whilst copying files to another share

Router
1

hello, using beryl7 - 4..9.0 - Network Storage application from GUI

  1. start to copy a set of files from laptop to usb drive plugged into beryl7.
  2. whilst the transfer continues, i create a new samba share.
  3. each time i create a new share, there are additional errors

is that how samba works or is this a glinet bug/issue?
thanks much, dave

Creating a new share will reload the samba service, afaik.
Which will cause an outage for a few milliseconds and lead to those issues.

thanks for the reply

as i understand it, samba can reload the config without killing the samba service.
hard to imagine it working any other way.

https://serverfault.com/questions/976264/how-can-make-changes-to-my-smb-conf-file-go-live-without-a-reboot

now, that i know, i guess i can work around it. just have to be careful when creating shares.
hopefull, there is a plan to fix that issue/bug or at least, add a disclaimer to the GUI?
