I have an Linux VM running Openmediavault on a separate machine which has a usb3 external drive plugged in. I use this for file shares and time machine backups. It has worked perfectly for years. However, with Monterey 12.5 on my MBP I’ve noticed some samba issues with copying to the shares and time machine backups are failing.
If I try to copy a folder to the smb share, I see:
The operation can't be completed because you don't have permission to access some of the items.
On my older macbook running Big Sur, the copies complete successfully as well as the time machine backups. On another MBP running Monterey 12.5, I see the same behavior as my main MBP so it seems as this is some Monterey bug.
Google said to try to create a file at /etc/nsmb.conf on my Monterey MBP with this config:
[default]
protocol_vers_map=6
and rebooting. Same issue. I have tried changing the 6 to a 2 and rebooting, but I see the same issue. If I mount the Linux VM (running Openmediavault) and type smbutil statshares -a

The Openmediavault forum said this was a Monterey issue, and not anything with their software. It does seem as if it is, as my old MBP with Big Sur works perfectly with the smb shares.
Have you all seen this behavior with Monterey, and how did you fix it?
