Linux server update resulted in access denied to shares

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.

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.

For clarification the Samba version that works is 4.13.17

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.

That's interesting. I've not tried that. What does it do exactly?
