Brand new Pioneer Pro, with current firmware (4.2.12). Put data on the share - seemed OK. Logged into share via my Mac and got the following message immediately..."Message from server <server name>"Something wrong with the volume's CNID DB, using temporary CNID DB instead. Check server messages for details. Switching to read-only mode.It is an OK message box, which I dismissed. There was a pretty long wait for the share to be shown in Finder. It displayed the <above> message, then opened the share.This share holds my itunes database and media.Any thoughts?I guess I get to call tech support again tomorrow (3rd time in 3 days of ownership - LOL). Maybe they'll call me back this time. Argh.

Sounds like (a guess perhaps) there may be a problem with the .AppleDB file in the root of the share. Did you do a clean install of 4.2.12 or upgrade from earlier firmware?In future, please don't post issues with current firmware in the beta forum. Issues with stable releases should go in the relevant forums e.g. in this case the "Mac / OS X" forum.

I intended to post in the right forum, but was searching through the forums for a similar problem before posting. I did find one in the beta, but decided not to post on the end - because it was beta. However, when I actually made the post, I must have got my windows mixed up and posted to the beta forum in the end... LOL - so, I get it, and sorry about that. I moderate a couple forums myself, and understand the issue.Back to the problem... it was a new Pioneer Pro... so, it came with older firmware. Unfortunately, I needed to insert disks and initialize the array (XRaid2) to get to the point where I could get to the UI. I think it shipped with 4.2.7... I guess if it matters specifically, I could go check the logs... but, alas, it was older firmware initially. After the array was initialized and the NAS came online, I immediately upgraded the firmware... but of course, the volume was created by then. After the upgrade to current firmware, 4.2.12, I created shares, configured the NAS, and did a backup (from old NV to new Pro) to get data in the share. Once the backup was complete, I rebooted the NAS, did volume scan to make sure all was well, and mounted the NAS on my Mac, via AFP. It was then that the error occurred.So, the volume was probably an upgrade, but there was no data on the volume when the upgrade was done. When data was eventually copied, the NAS had current firmware.Thanks for the help.

Strange, it looks like the Mac is trying to make 3 connections to the share at the same time for some odd reason. Anyone who can reproduce this, please try installing this addon and let me know if it makes a difference.

I assume this only affects AFP? For me, this issue has also been happening over SMB (and any other service listed in the Finder). I can make the initial connection, view the Media directory, but when I try to view Media/Movies it will hang.

I will install the add-on and keep this thread posted.

thanks!

So far the AFP update is working great. The directory listing returned instantly.

UPDATE:
CIFS, however, does not. It still have the same issue. I can't list the Media/Videos/ directory. AFP is already mounted, but I don't think that should be an issue?

thanks

It might be an issue, since OSX has some hidden files that it likes to place locks on.

@skywalker

I unmounted the AFP share and mounted the CIFS share. When I tried to view Media/Videos/* the Finder hangs and I can't even list local folders! I am forced to relaunch the Finder to get things working properly.

Digging through the logs (not sure why I didn't see the smbd logs earlier) I think it might be related to:

 smbd version 3.5.4 started.

I then went into Frontrow to verify the share settings. The settings for this share are as follows:

default access: 'read/write'
allow guest access: true
Automatically set permissions on new files and folders: true
group rights: read/write (times 2)
every rights: read/write (times 2)
Enable Locks: true

Basically, default stuff.

Any thoughts? Am I on to something?

thanks!

That all looks normal. Do you have a Windows box you can try to access the share with?

I have a Parallels VM.. Is that sufficient or do you think it could be a network layer sort of issue?

Okay. Is there anything specific that you wanted me to do? Just try to connect to the share?

UPDATE:

\\192.x.x.x\media\Videos worked fine in Windows. It wasn't automatically listed in My Network Places. I only saw the icon for FrontView (no shares).

just had the same issue, running 4.2.13 on NVX Biz. The "Health" tab showed that two (3&4) of 4 drives are bad. The front display says: "..on lifesupp"
Rebooted, it came back resyncing drive 3 while drive 4 seem to have returned to normal.
