Can't Mount SMB/CIFS Shares in OS X Sierra Public Beta 4
Latest firmeware 4.4.28 and I suspect it's a Sierra issue but I see the drive and shares and am promtped to authenictate which seems to work. Trying to mount or view files results in a time out. Driv...
Sadly, mine went out of warranty at the end of 2015, so I can't claim it's still supported.
SMB works fine for me, although it is noticeably slower than AFP for file access.
I am still looking for confirmation that this same issue is not happening on ReadyNAS OS 6 - it OS 4 is EOL, then it's EOL, but I don't want to pay for a new device if it won't fix the issue.
So you can use SMB with Sierra?? I guess I'm confused.
Yes, I can use SMB, although it is slower than AFP was.
Because ReadyNAS OS 4 only uses AFP for Time Machine, and Sierrra dropped AFP, Sierra can no longer see my Time Machine disks, which is the main issue I am having. I would disable AFP completely on my ReadyNAS, but I still need AFP for my other Macs that are not on Sierra yet.If Time Machine can be configured to use SMB, there will no longer be a need for AFP to be enabled on the ReadyNAS device. (Performance would still be an issue, though...)
