Another tip for persons in the future who, for some reason, end up in possession of a #Buffalo #TeraStation #NAS running software last released in 2015:

To mount a #Samba share from the TS3400 on a modern #Linux machine, you need to explicitly provide the "vers=2.0" to mount.cifs, or add it to your fstab options.

Not doing this will result in a very nonspecific "cifs_mount failed w/return code = -22" error message.

I don't know who in the future this might benefit, but if you have a #Buffalo #TeraStation NAS device, and you're trying to replace a failed drive, you are *not* supposed to format the new disk before beginning the RAID Recovery process.

If you *do* format the new disk (haha oops), and the "Recover RAID Array" button just stays greyed-out, try unmounting and ejecting/reinserting the new drive. It should come back up as Unformatted, and you can use it to recover the RAID volume.
