Understand that I was trying to help others in a similar situation?in my case an WD device that had all the vfs_fruit objects built in (smb 4.3.11) but only a few parameters implemented and only in the Time Machine share, nothing in the global. As broken as Ralph may think 4.3.11 is <smile>, my changes improved functionality & performance a lot for my Macs. I ran many Wireshark scans to verify. I did post it to the WD MyCloud forum, but, that is an audience limited to that device. I will try to keep it simple ;-) Todd
