macOS 10.15 SMB Finder Issues

Question

Hello,

we've on OneFS 9.1 / FS200 and using AD as auth provider (with rfc2307). ACLs are set to balanced. On Win10 everything works just fine but on macOS we've certain problems with renaming / moving folders and sometimes streams. Our nsmb.conf is

[default]
streams=yes
signing_required=no
soft=yes
validate_neg_off=yes
dir_cache_off=yes

Sometimes folders can be renamed but after renaming they are "locked" for some time (from 5s to remount). Do anyone else fighting with these issues ?

Thank you!!

Cheers

Hello Michal, Here is a link to a KB that maybe of assistance. https://dell.to/3ddTjYu

Just to note that this problem is obviously connected just with SMB2/3 connections from mac clients. SMB1 works fine but slow as expected.

Hey Sam, that finally worked as a charm!! Thank you! ... the only pain is when you have 50TB that needs to inherit these Windows ACLs it takes ages to finish ;o) Thank you once again !! Cheers -michal
