YASMBP (Yet Another SMB Problem) with Sonoma and a Synology NAS

[seggy]

It's not an outright 'doesn't work' problem. I have 6 shared folders mounted from a Synology at startup.

Whenever I log in on the Mac, the first two mounts always fails claiming it can't find the NAS. The rest are fine.

So it's not one of the multitude of user validation etc issues with Sonoma.

It's not related to NAS drive sleep since it will happen when the Synology is fully awake (but either way it should be able to cope with this scenario).

Any ideas?

just for testing sake, if you rearrange the mounting order, does the failed mount follow the new order.. so is it allways the first two drives that fail to mount, or two specific drives?

So I've been rebooting a bunch of times and testing in more detail with the NAS slept and awake, and correction - it does seem related to drive sleep to a degree, but it's also kinda random in other respects.

When the drives are asleep is when the first two mounts (in alphabetical order) fail for sure.

When the drives are not asleep, sometimes one fails (and it needn't be the first alphabetically), sometimes all load, but I will always get a message box that the NAS couldnt be found, in all of the above scenarios.

Assuming that they are SMB mounts have you applied the latest SMB update? What firmware version are you running? What version of DSM? Which Synology model?

I have no problem with my DS 1821 SMB mounts running 14.5.

I was dealing with a similar problem with network storage (new base mac studio with ventura) and this helped me:

Mount network drives using script with 15 s delay.

Thanks for the tip - i was thinking it might be something along those lines, and of course you have to script it 🤣🤣🤣

Mac Studio M1 Ultra, 14.5

Lose all network drive services after it sleeps, again. I had this issue and it went away years a go, now it is back. Added Automounter to the work flow and now that is not working.

SMB to Synology, UnRAID, MacOS, and Ubuntu all gone, can SSH and ping fine
NFS to Synology gone

ugh...

Automounter is working for me rn, but it's only been days - so wish i could help but right now I can only sympathise with the just lack of many of the fit for purpose elements in MacOS, and having to stick ten bajillion different third party utilities onto it to be even remotely acceptable. I just hope I don't have the same problems as you...

I can’t add anything useful but thought I’d add a ‘me too’ datapoint. I have two Macs, a MBP which uses wi-fi and a Mac Studio connected via ethernet. As of some point in the past few months the Studio has started dropping SMB connections every time the machine sleeps. The MBP does not suffer the same problem, despite being connected to the same NAS (also a Synology).

Interesting to hear that AutoMounter hasn’t helped for you either, as that was going to be my last resort.

Wired connections are supposed to be the low-hassle option, but with Apple these days it seems like the inverse might be true.
