    Mac SMB file sharing, unbearably slow first connect

    I have a 2014 Mac mini (16gb ram, 1tb ssd) as a home server. When connecting to the server for the first time it takes so long to first load. Even tho I have it set to be on all the time and not sleep. My windows SMB share is instant even on a normal HDD instead of ssd. When accessing it from...

    SMB (Samba) shares broken in Monterey?

    It seems the issue was the NAS itself. It did not have enough power for an external drive that size. With a different NAS, I have not seen this problem so far. ________ Up until recently, it was all working fine - copying files from my Mac M1 to my mini-NAS via Samba. I can still access all...

    Shared network storage (Samba) in Files is very unreliable

    I have a laptop (Fedora Linux) which hosts a Samba server connected my local network. However, it seems like successfully connecting to the server is a hit or miss for my iPhone and iPad. A lot of times, Files would just suddenly report that an unknown error has occurred. This usually happens...

    NFS or SMB with configurable cache

    I'm considering instead of Dropbox or iCloud, pay for my own hosted server with 10TB of storage and put either an NFS or an SMB server on it (or both) and just use that as my cloud storage. The hosting site will do backups. As a third level thing, I could also push it off up to Dropbox. The...

    Phantom SMB Mount

    This problem is driving me crazy, and I’m hoping someone has seen this before and knows what’s going on. My main system is an old iMac running El Cap, and a few days ago I noticed that a home directory on another computer on my network (running Mojave) was being mounted by some unknown process...

    Time Machine backups to NAS fail with "Failed to eject" and "Resource busy"

    Back in 2020 I had already opened a thread about problems backing up to an SMB share on my NAS; it was so slow it would never catch up with all the snapshots my system creates every hour. I had been able to solve this by blacklisting all those many small files that don't really need to be...

    SMB share inaccessible to most macs when "Encrypt Data Access" is on

    Hello All, I've been banging my head against a wall for weeks and am getting nowhere. I have a client who has a network share on a Windows 2019 server that works fine for all Win and MAc machines until "Encrypt data access" is turned on in the server manager. Once it's turned on, anytime 3...

    Finder Display of SMB Shares

    This on a 2017 iMac running 10.15.7 I'm a little confused as to how the Finder displays mounted SMB shares. I have a remote Raspberry Pi which is behind a double NAT. I have set up a reverse SSH tunnel for access to SMB shares. The code on the Pi looks like this: ssh -nNTC -R...

    After installing a Windows 10 update on my PC, I can no longer connect to it from Mavericks...

    So this has been bugging me for a while, but I'm pretty clueless as to what's wrong. I have a PC I use for video games, which runs Windows 10 LTSC 1809. I have Windows 10's native file sharing enabled, which I used to be able to connect to from my Mac running Mavericks. At some point in the...

    Very slow access to SMB and AFP shares

    As much as I love my new M1 Macbook Air, one thing that it has huge issues with is accessing shares on my Qnap server. I've setup both SMB and AFP shares, and they are slow, disconnect all the time, and generally are a huge pain. Pretty much unusable at times. My Windows 10 laptop has zero...

    Anyone got shared USB drive connected to an Airport Extreme working over SMB?

    Files (the iOS app) has supported smb since 13.0 if I remember correctly. I remember being excited about it. Now I need it. smb://airportextremeipaddress.local seems right but after about 25 seconds, it times out and I get “There was a problem conbecting to the server”. iOS 14.3 AirPort...

    Mystery SMB mount

    We've all had issues with SMB shares being randomly dropped, but I seem to have the opposite problem. I have an SMB share that keeps on automatically reconnecting for reasons I cannot fathom. The share is a drive (LaCie) on another Mac (Happy Meal) on the local network, to which I do connect...

    iPad Comic reader for files on NAS?

    I’m thinking with iPadOS’ SMB support that multiple apps might support this need but since I just got an iPad and haven’t setup SMB yet, I’m not sure. Basically I’m looking for a comic/manga reader app. My comics are stored on a shared hard drive connected to my router. I *don’t* want to store...
