That is the same troubles, I did get 90% of it resolved. The biggest was disabling any RealTek network interfaces- they don't play nice with Unraid I was told. The other one is more of a work around- rather than Finder, I'm using the Owl Files app and it is much faster and more stable. I don't know what it is, but there's still some thing that just isn't playing nice with finder. I've had many conversations with senior support advisors at Apple, many of them don't even know what SMB is 🤦‍♂️

Hi! I'm running Unraid 6.11.5 and having an issue with SMB connections locking up specifically on Mac computers. It appears that the server stops responding, and freezes finder in the process. Things seem to work fine on the Windows side, and I've replicated this on a few Macs including a brand new Mac studio with a relatively clean OS. I've experimented with the Mac Operability settings, and the simultaneous connection setting did help, but it ultimately crashes just not as soon. While the server is unresponsive I can access the web GUI fine and stats show it's mostly idling. I work with large video files, and usually copying over a few gigs, or exploring large directories seems to trigger. I've also got a ticket open with Apple, but so far their senior advisor couldn't find any active reports on this in the wild, and suspect its something compatibility wise on host side. Appreciate any insights or things to try! If there's anything I can look for in logs, happy to post. thx!

Thank you to Apple engineers who are currently working on this, it definitely seems to be Mac locking it's disk up. If I edit a project fully on the SMB it works fine (not reading and writing to mac disk). Will keep posted for anyone else who experiences this!

Unraid SMB files grind to a hault every few seconds or so, and resume 12 seconds later, (making work a little hard). From my observation it seems to be something specifically with unraid SMB protocol tripping a mac security feature Windows copying to Unraid works fine, and any copy from this mac to a regular windows SMB works fine, just seems to be unraid. I noticed a peculiar quark, if I'm compressing a file at the same time- the transfers fly right on through. From some digging it seems there was an older problem with a new MacOS security feature some years ago, but that was patched and I see no mention of it since. Oddly Mac seems to hang it's disk reads after a couple gigs transfer on Unraid from a security feature. Not certain this is still related but curious what you big brains think. (attached photo: notice the surges of file transfer speeds, and then drops to a few Kbps, continues to surge and hang. The steady stream of traffic on the last third of the graph is when a file starts getting compressed)
