I’m able to connect to shares, create folders and files but i cannot copy files etc. with a client (SUSE Tumbleweed) to the share. Other clients are fine.
Message in Filebrowser:
Access Denied: writing to smb//:192.168.2.10/myfolder/subfolder not possible
i have blindly changed some settings regarding some infos i’ve found while searching some boards.
Does anyone have a clue?
The logs on truenas just showing “authentication” only events
Don’t use the file manager’s built-in “network shares” feature. Use the cifs module to mount and access SMB shares in Linux clients. Not only do they behave better, but they perform better too.
You can use the fstab with the x-systemd.automount parameter.
hi,
thank you. it worked…kindish. Then i decided to change Distro.
Under Debian it worked via network-share – without a hassle.
Since we live in 2025 i prefer using smb 3.X. Also performance- and feature wise with truenas in the network.
I was teached and told smb>cifs 
??
cifs is the name of the kernel module. It just happens to keep the legacy name. It has nothing to do with the old technology. (The “smb” you see in the file manager’s location bar does not mean it’s “newer” than the “cifs” you see in the mount command.)
Using the cifs module to mount and access SMB shares over the network performs and behaves better than using a file manager’s built-in feature, which adds a layer of abstraction with KIO or GVFS.
