I’ve been running occ files_external:notify as a service for faster SMB updates in my docker setup for multiple major versions now without issue. After updating to 33, this broke, and now simply trying to do

occ files_external:notify 1

in the container shell gives:

In Connection.php line 56:

[Icewind\SMB\Exception\ConnectionRefusedException]

I tried adding the username/password for the share explicitly for the command (i.e. -u and -p) but no luck.

occ files_external:list still shows the share as before:


root@b043323f7132:/# occ files_external:list

and yes I can still access it via NC just fine. Also system logs show the connection is “successful” on the SMB server end when this command is attempted.

Any one else run this tool and maybe have this issue?

I have cloned snapshots of my files from the previous version to a separate dataset and confirmed 100% that 32 did not do this when running occ files_external:notify 1.
