I've got a low-end Synology box in RAID-1, have configured it to
require SMB3, and configured /etc/fstab entries for the synology mounts
to use only SMB3, and it all works like a treat.
I'm running this on Centos-7, which is a sort-of cousin to Fedora,
so its hard to imagine that Fedora can't do SMB3 too.
