mgutt Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 I changed one SMB share visibility from "yes (hidden)" to "yes". I think this causes a restart of the SMB service because all my active connections were killed and a running upload was interrupted. I think a dialog should warn before a setting is saved and the SMB service is restarted. Maybe it contains something like "John is writing with x MB/s to disk Y. Are you sure to restart the SMB service? Data lost possible bla bla" Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 There is a separate request raised to tell the Samba service to read its new configuration without it going through a full restart (which on doing some googling seems to be a feature supported by Samba). I think that would be a better solution, but if for any reason it is decided that is not possible then a warning would be nice. Quote Link to comment
