Good Morning, It appears that macs do no play well with anything anymore.I have trying to share a folder from my Ubuntu computer to my Windows PC. We bought 2 Ts-ex1680u-rp with 16 圆 TB drives in a single pool setup as a raid 6 array and 1 hot spare.

They are connected to a HP Pro Curve 2920 48 Port switch and the Nic 1 and Nic 2 are Teamed up with LACP on the switch for greater throughput. Currently there is 24.5 TBs on the Nas and over 2.5 million files. Macs running osx 10.10.5 are having all sort of problems. Knowing that OSX is now using SMB v2 by default i connected the 24 mac users in the office to the smb share and had enable Advanced permissions and went about setting up NTFS permissions from a windows machine to follow what we do with our other file servers.

Test it all from a pc and everything works. Mac users on the other hand start having random issues and cannot delete/rename/remove old folders that aren't being user. I login from a pc using their same credentials and there are no issues do the same thing. Mac users are also working with files directly off the server with indesign, photoshop etc and apps are slowing down giving them the pin wheel etc.

Need a better solution I searched the internet for SMB OSX issues and find that this is a common issue in mac osx and the only work around is to go to CIFS (smbv1) or revert to AFP.

Move all the users over to the AFP connection and everything appears to be going great.

Users are no longer having permissions issues. skip a few days and now users are telling me the server is slow. Finder is taking 20 seconds to open a folder and show the 400 files in it. From a PC i can open those files almost instantly and this is from 1400 KMS away over a 100/100Mbps BOVPN setup between our two firewalls. using a pc locally everything is crazy fast. MAc users are upset as its too slow to load icons, or show the files. I restarted the switch last night but i don't see how this can be the issue. I can copy large files over to the nas at 125 MB/s. I can start a second transfer from a separate computer and copy things over at 125 MB/s for a combined transfer speed to the nas of 250 MB/s. Yet for the mac users browsing the qnap can be incredibily slow while the PC VMs that i have on a host there can access without issues. I can connect to SMB from our Main office over the VPN without any lag or issues. Thumbnails can be slow to show but i am remote. I went into the advanced setting of the win/mac/nfs and enabled asynchronous I/O ( qnap has one PSU going into seperate UPS) I enabled SMB v3.0 last night but currently everyone is using afp. Restarted and reviewed Switch and Port LACP setup and it looks and works fine from PC. Reviewed Nic on qnaps and there are no errors.

Reviewed Port details on the switch and there aren't any errors One thing to note is initially we tried to setup spotlight to index the nas but it didn't work so we diabled it and tried Fox Trot search. I'm not sure what else i could be missing or where the root cause is. IN a nutshell, its Apple's half hearted implementation of SMB. Have a look at SMBup, I have an office with 10+ Macs, connections were a disaster until we ditched the built in SMB engine.
