I tried to modify the smb.conf but I couldn’t find a way to restart the services since I couldn’t find smbd nmbd under /etc/init.d
Here’s the files under /etc/init.d:

After reboot, the smb.conf seemed to reset back to its original state.

thanks for the quick reply.
Unfortunately there were no rc2.d exists under /etc:

Using the find command to find the start up scripts returns no result:
root@FuseSpring / # find -type f -name [SK][0-9]*
root@FuseSpring / #
FYI, heres the files under rc.d:
root@FuseSpring / # ls /etc/rc.d/
rc.init.sh
Thanks I’ll post this again over there

How do i turn on/off services (especially samba)?
How do properly edit the config files without it reseting to its original status after reboot?

Easiest way I’ve found to disable services is to go to /etc/rc2.d and rename the services you don’t need from S??? to K???. I’ve disabled everything BUT Samba, so your config will be different than mine.

Make sure you’re looking in the right forum. Overall_Share is a correct file for the My Cloud NAS (which is the forum you posted in) but NOT for the EX2, which is what you have.
