SMB shares on IBM iSeries (Update)

I’m refering to: Rclone can't connect to smb share

I’ve fixed the problem in the go-smb2 cloudsoda library and issued a pull request.

What is the best procedure to get this modification included in rclone ?

Hello, my fix has been merged into the main branch of go-smb2:

Someone knows when the dependency will be included in rclone ?

Have you tried to update smb dependency and built rclone yourself? To test if it works?

I am also waiting on this to be merged. This is a huge unlock for me :slight_smile: Is there anything I can do to help move this issue along? Is @gabviv ' s assertion that it has been tested enough or is there some other task / formal stroken that needs to be done?

Send a PR to update the go.mod in rclone

I update these once per release cycle but it would need to have made it to a tagged release to be included.

I encountered a problem when building docker image:

go: ``github.com/cloudsoda/go-smb2@v0.0.0-20260401042019-a9059825d591`` requires go >= 1.26.1 (running go 1.25.0; GOTOOLCHAIN=local)

Using 1.26.1 works great.
What can I do to send you the PR ?

The rclone build supports go 1.25 and 1.26 which is the current and previous versions of go.

This is a pretty standard policy in the Go world.

I would make an issue with the go-smb repo asking for them to support go1.25...

Actually looks like they have done that already so just try a later version
