Connection Limit ReadyNAS 3138
Everything was great before the people arrived... :-)
This weekend I setup the new ReadyNAs. Moved files from a Windows 2008 server. We have about 9 MACs and about 6 PCs. I connected everyone. SMB on the MACs and with each user's own login.
When i connected people I browsed randomly around the server and all was well - and it seemd to be faster than the Windows server..
Now that everyone has arrived I have several people that are on MACs that when they clicked the folder - nothing...just hung. And on PCs (Windows 10) that when they click a folder it hung. I went to a PC and clicked the fodler and the top green progress bar went across slowly and eventually - literally minutes later hte folder opens.
What. The. Heck. ? Why can my users not browse folders quickly anymore? Have I hit some limit?
Please help.

Marc_V - thank you for replying and trying to help.
They just hang - it sits there... sometimes the Finder window closes (MAC). Other times on the PC the Explorer window starts saying "Not Responding".
LOGS. I login to the Wed interface. Click System. Click Log. and on the left side I see Errors, Warnings, Info. I look at those and I don't see anything specific.....
I'm a newbie....but it seems there should be more detailed logs....somewhere? Help.
What version of firmware are you running? If it's 6.9.4, try downloading and installing 6.9.3 manually. 6.9.4 has a pretty severe bug that causes btrfs and smb hangs.
