I ran apt-get update and upgrade on my Linux server 20.04 which runs on a pi earlier in the week. Now my Sonos S1 system is denying access to the SMB shares on it. Does anyone know what changed? My smb.conf is unchanged so I am a bit confused by this.

Linux server update resulted in access denied to shares

Adding “unix extensions = no” to smb.conf solved it. Thanks, very grateful.

I have re-flashed the pi sd with a system image from a couple of months ago and it is now working again. So it was something in that apt-get upgrade that resulted in denied access. I am guessing samba. I have put samba update on hold and will try apt-get upgrade again but before I do does anyone know of another package update that might have caused this before I press the button and have to re-flash the os again. I wish sonos could just read minimserver.
It’s Samba 4.15 and higher that cause these issues. You can add “unix extensions = no” to your smb.conf and Sonos should be able to connect to the server again.
Search the page for unix extensions, it is in several places and seems to be different for the SMB versions.
