As one site pointed out, the Samba server can be optimized a bit for Macs by just adding: “large readwrite = no” to the global section of the smb.conf file.  Now at first take that looks easy but…. it gets overwritten each time the device is booted.

A simple modification of the fun_plug can make everything better:

Find the line “cd /” and add the following:

if [ -e /mnt/HD_a2/smb.conf ]; then

  	cp /mnt/HD_a2/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf

  	smb restart

else

  	cp /etc/samba/smb.conf /mnt/HD_a2/smb.conf
