Also, best practice would be to set these configurations in /boot/config/smb-fruit.conf.

So, if I understand it correctly, I should take those global settings out of smb-extras and put them into the smb-fruit.conf file and I don't need to worry about the [sharename] section as veto isn't working or should I put them in there anyway as it's no harm and eventually smb will be fixed?

include = /tmp/unassigned.devices/smb-settings.conf

 

does that stay in extras? This is already in the smb.conf file

# unassigned devices
        include = /etc/samba/smb-unassigned.conf

 Thanks again

Below I include my Unraid (Version: 6.10.0-rc1) "Samba extra configuration". This configuration is working  well for me accessing Unraid shares from macOS Monterey 12.0.1

 

I expect these configuration parameters will work okay for Unraid 6.9.2. The "veto" commands speed-up performance to macOS by disabling Finder features (labels/tags, folder/directory views, custom icons etc.) so you might like to include or exclude these lines per your requirements.

 

Note, there are problems with samba version 4.15.0 in Unraid 6.10.0-rc2 causing unexpected dropped SMB connections… (behavior like this should be anticipated in pre-release) but fixes expected in future releases.

 

This configuration is based on a Samba configuration recommended for macOS users from 45Drives here: KB450114 – MacOS Samba Optimization.

 

#unassigned_devices_start
#Unassigned devices share includes
   include = /tmp/unassigned.devices/smb-settings.conf
#unassigned_devices_end

[global]
   vfs objects = catia fruit streams_xattr
   fruit:nfs_aces = no
   fruit:zero_file_id = yes
   fruit:metadata = stream
   fruit:encoding = native
   spotlight backend = tracker

[data01]
   path = /mnt/user/data01
   veto files = /._*/.DS_Store/
   delete veto files = yes
   spotlight = yes

 

My Unraid share is "data01". Give attention to modifying the configuration for your particular shares (and other requirements). I hope providing this might help others to troubleshoot and optimize SMB for macOS.

Wow! This is great - almost worked perfectly first time but had a spam of errors in syslog about something I've now forgotten (sigh - phantom or virtual directory for every file in the share) - changed fruit:metadata = stream to fruit:metadata = netatalk and transfer speeds at at max and everthing is great.
