After the upgrade from Beta 6 to Beta 7 I am not able to connect to any smb-shares any more. I tried it with a Windows Server, Synology DriveStation and a Debian implementation. I'm directly getting the message Error with connection.
Big Sur Beta 7 breaks SMB?
Hello, it is Beta 6 (20A5364e). I experienced the same behavior and I just submitted a Feedback report. It seems afp protocol is still working.
Same here, Feedback report written, hope, we get an updated Beta soon....
No Solution in the Moment to see...

Terminal cmd line also does not work to mount an SMB share unfortunately. Big Sur Dev Beta 6.
I can confirm the same thing on my end. As of 20A5364e, I can no longer connect to SMB share located on macOS Mojave 10.14. No login screen, no delay, just an immediate generic network error message.
Same here .... Just installed Beta 6 and all SMB shares immediately pop up with "Connection Failed" message. Any ideas?
Unredacting the logs reveals the issue, insufficient permissions to load the kernel extension. Just run this (once):
sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/smbfs.kext

I can also confirm the same behaviour, feedback report submitted.

Thank you. This worked for me!
Thank you TyngJJ!!! Was getting worried I couldn't utilize my iMac with Big Sur because of this same issue
Since updating the latest public beta today, I cannot see my external thunderbolt drives on Finder. sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/smbfs.kext doesn't work either.
Any solutions, as I'm pretty much stuck now with a lot of important files on the external drives.

very helpful. the code worked.
Thanks for the workaround!
The issue affects Parallels Desktop too as it uses SMB to share in-VM files with macOS.

Thank you TyngJJ, your code worked here..
This command will work until you restart, but after the restart the command needs to be executed again.
Is there a permanent solution to it?

/usr/bin/kmutil load -p /System/Library/Extensions/smbfs.kext
command brings smb back to life!
I also have a problem with Parallels 16, having installed the code suggested (sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/smbfs.kext.) ever time I open the app its crashes the Mac back to start up, any ideas for as fix?
