Apple iOS upload to SAMBA drive fails with "The operation couldn't be completed. Operation cancelled"

 Apple iOS 14.5 and upwards (so far) has a introduced a bug preventing apple users from uploading or creating files on their local samba drives on the network. The upload will start but eventually fail with an error popup:

The operation couldn't be completed. Operation cancelled

If you have access to the samb configuration file (smb.conf) then you can apply a known workaround. In my instance, my samba is hosted on an Ubuntu machine. Edit the file found at /etc/samba/smb.conf and under the [global] section add the following 2 lines:


 [global]
 vfs objects = fruit streams_xattr  
 fruit:nfs_aces = no  

Then restart samba

service smbd restart
And you're good to go!
