I have been sharing a Thunderbay RAID drive on the network where I would dump files daily on it from a Windows 10 machine. I upgraded SoftRaid to 6.2.1 and can no longer access the shared drive. It keeps asking for and rejecting the credentials for the disk. I've tried unsharing/resharing the drive multiple times and rebooting both computers a number of times. I tried a second Window 10 machine with the same results. I've confirmed the credentials are correct. I went from sharing a few minutes before the 6.2.1 upgrade to being unable to access the drive a few minutes after the upgrade.
Any ideas?

Reinstall the 6.2 driver.
I had a couple reports of sharing issues. I tried reproducing this, but SMB sharing was working OK.
Maybe the difference is I created the share with 6.2.1, I am not sure yet.

Where do I find the 6.2 dmg on the site?

I have verified that switching back to 6.2 has resolved the sharing problem.

Are you sharing with two macs? Or sharing from the mac to Windows clients that is not working?
I did not see this when trying to test.

I am sharing a Thunderbay 4 raid volume on my iMac Pro. I am connecting to the shared drive from a windows 10 machine.

If it helps, here is info on the share:

Does the share fail from inside your network? Or only when users are accessing from outside the network?
Does it work from another Mac, if you know?

Can you attach a SoftRAID tech support file on the host computer?
Also, if you are running 6.2.1 and create a brand new share, does that work? (differentiating between an existing vs a new share point)

It did fail from inside my network. I am not trying to access it from outside my network. I didn't try from another MAC. I've attached the support file (from my installation of 6.2; 6.2.1 has been removed from my system). I did try creating a new Sharepoint when I was running 6.2.1 and sharing it but it had the same problem. The sharepoint was on the main Mac drive on my desktop.

Thanks, I have someone in house with a PC who is going to set it up in the next few days.

Ok, I'm fine now on 6.2.

There is a solution.
In System Preferences/Sharing, click the + under the sharing pane, to share the SoftRAID volume, as if it were a folder. that will work.

I did try that on 6.2.1 and it didn’t work for me. One interesting observation was that I had first tried sharing though the info dialog for the drive after noticing it wasn’t accessible. I then went to the system preferences sharing and saw two entries for the shared drive. I deleted both then added the share again which didn’t work.
