I’ve just upgraded to 25.10.1 and I see that the “Enable SMB2/3 Durable Handles“ option I mentioned is indeed missing from the “Default Share” configuration.
I have no idea why IX is removing the support for these, IMHO these are very important options and I definitely want to use them.
As of today, these options can be accessed if you switch the “Purpose” setting to “Legacy Share”:
Then scroll down to “Oher Options”, it’s there:
A little background story on why I disable this. I noticed that from time to time Windows “locks” a file by keeping the file handle open even when not actively writing to the file. It is a Windows thing. I disabled the durable handles and this solved my issue. I also disable Alternate Data Streams, because Windows… We have both Linux and Windows systems at home so interoperability is important.
The new “Default Share” option is now the default when one creates an SMB share. Unfortunately it has very, very limited number of options available, I really hate this in this form.
