Goal

When having to temporarily disallow access to smb shares on a 7x10 or 7x20 unified storage system the mistake is often made to disable smbd with unexpected results as imapd generating lots of errors making the system almost unusable.
This document describes the preferred way to temporary disable user access to selected smb / cifs shares when the systems administrator wants to. It also describes how to re-enable access.

Fix

In order to disable smb / cifs access to the shares one should not disable smbd since that may cause unwanted side effects like related processes going into a state where they generate lots of errors which consumes lots of system resources.

The preferred way of temporarily disabling access to smb / cifs shares is to set the parameter "smbshare" to "off".

This can be achieved in the BUI in two ways:

1. Disable at Project level

Select

Shares > Projects > Protocols

There the Project Resource Name should be changed to "off" which causes the smbshares to be no longer shared.

When one wants to re-enable smb sharing the Project Resource Name parameter should be set back to it's original value. Setting it to "on" will also re-enable sharing, but the resource will use it's filesystem name as the resource name then.

2. Disable at Share level

Select

Shares > Projects

There choose the share you want to modify by hitting the pencil icon at the right side. In the new screen select the Protocols tab. There you find the "Resource Name" in the SMB parameters section. You can change the name to "off" if you don't want to share this resource.

If you want to re-enable sharing you should change the Resource Name parameter back to it's original value or to "on".

It may be necessary to uncheck the "Inherit from Project" parameter in order to allow modification of the parameter at share level.
