Mac finder issues using SMB
Hi
We are using an application (Egnyte) that requires SMB connections, however we have issues with Mac users connected to the ReadyNAS via SMB.
The issues range from not being able to see folder updates made by other users (finder seems to be caching the folder names) to losing permissions on the share when someone else makes changes. Disconnecting and then reconnecting gets you back to a good connection with all updates. The cause seems to be the Mac Finder and implementation of SMB, just wondering if anyone else has come across this and has any solutions.
Thanks
Graham
PS - We are also talking to Egnyte about this issue to see if they can help, just trying a two pronged approach by asking here

Re: Mac finder issues using SMB
Hello grahami,
Maybe it is best to check if you get the same problem on other Mac connecting to the volume of the NAS as well Windows.
Can you also provide the model number and firmware version of your NAS?

Hi
Thanks for the reply
The model is a 4220X and the firmware is the latest, 6.6
The issue happens for all the Macs connected to the ReadyNAS shares, it isnt just one of them

Re: Mac finder issues using SMB
Hello grahami,
Do the Mac machines have the same version? I haven't heard of this problem. Will it be possible to test this on a Windows version?

Re: Mac finder issues using SMB
All Macs are running El Capitan
We have Windows users and they do not have any issues, it is only the Macs who have these issues

Re: Mac finder issues using SMB
Still have the same issue, it seems to be the way Apple have implemented SMB and the application we are using requires SMB - they plan an update this half year, so we have to struggle on until then

Re: Mac finder issues using SMB
What update are you referring to and has that been released yet? Egnyte? Something else?
