SMB broke in 13.2
After upgrading to 13.2 I can no longer share disks/file via SMB between my Macs. They can see windoze shares but no macOS. Way to go apple!
Mac Studio, macOS 13.1
That is so discouraging.
Question marked as
the plot thickness, I created an external boot drive for the Mac Studio, with a 'scratch' volume. If I put an icon on the volume smb fails. If I remove it, and stop and restart file serving it works fine.
In my previous tests, I removed the icon from a drive I was trying to mount via SMB, but left the others as shared with their icons. After I am done with setting up the external boot drive and back on to the internal drive, I will remove all drives from sharing except one that will not have an icon and see if that works.
If that does "work" it will make things a bit harder for me as I have lots of external drives with icons representing what they are for. It has made my life easier, but I suppose I should be able to get along without the icons.

I tried the command: sudo /usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/socketfilterfw --unblockapp /usr/sbin/smbd and it did not help on a 13.2.1 system.
What great idea? Explain please. And how long have you tested it? I have had hours of success and then a failure with all the things I tired. It fails when it wants to.
I am not sharing the volume, only a folder and the issue persists. Again, it only works for anywhere from a few hours to a full day, then poof!
Thanks!!!!!!!!
I am completely fixed. Several days running, several Macs connected, no issues. That was a tough one Apple!
