  1. first, a few remarks from my side (michael, systems integrator): we're running release 6.6.6 and after reading the changelog of V 6.6.7 I decided to not upgrade for now. while testing SMB, we tried with "Enhanced OS X interoperability" on and off. the behavior with invisible files/folders in the Finder.app of macOS can be circumvented if we mount the NFS share using the terminal command "mount" with the option "nfc". using SMB, there are no problems with invisible folders. we would prefer to use NFS instead of SMB (performance). the issue with unpacking ZIP files cannot be reproduced on other NFS servers (for example Debian). up until now I wasted countless hours to get this whole setup up and running reliably. I tried all imaginable combinations of options when mounting the NFS share with a terminal command (instead of using CMD-K on macOS to mount). this is what the customer has to say: We have setup an Xenon-based Unraid Server with 40TB of storage. The Shares are attached via NFS to an array of Macs and windows Pc's via Lan. The Unraid Version used is XXXX We are using the Unraid for Photo- and Video Editing and Data storage using a multitude of Programs, mostly Apple Final Cut Pro X and Adobe Photoshop/Illustrator. Most Clients are Imacs and Macbook Pro's, some hooked up via Thunderbolt3 to 10GbE Adapters. The macs connect to the UnRaid via NFS with following settings: ?????? We do have some problems which we can reproduce on two different UnRaid Machines in different networks which rules out topology or Hardware as a problem: Access via Finder: Zip files on the share cannot be unzipped (Error -1 ) Access via Finder: Folders sometimes show up as empty even though there are files inside. Final Cut: When working on the Share in final cut in different Libraries they often close with an "cannot save changes" error. This is a big issue as we need to work from the machine. Illustrator: Saving as AI with Drawing Boards enabled renders an Unknown Error (!now) error. This only happens when trying via NFS When accessing the Share via SMB an trying to open FCPX Libraries I get the error that SMB Shares are not supported, which they are since about two years, so something is not right there as well. However the other errors don't show up in this case. We do think now that it must have something to do with the way NFS is implemented in UnRaid. Does anyone have a hint on where to start?
  2. yep, that's exactly the case. I'm just curious about what unRAID is doing different with the NFS shares. I spent hours while trying to find out why this is the case. unfortunately I'm stuck now... there's must be something I have overlooked. mounting the NFS share from the terminal works fine as long as I'm using the "locallocks" option. works fine with unRAID and debian or slackware. when mounting the NFS share using the Finder.app (CMD-K nfs://server/export) it's only usable if I use unRAID as server. with debian or slackware the connection is somehow broken: it takes ages to list a directory or to transfer files. it's not just slower. eg: it takes several minutes to list a directory.
  3. I am really curious: why on earth is it possible to connect to unRAID with a macOS client using the NFS protocol and it works flawless whereas on every other NFS server (debian stretch, slackware) the connection immediately almost comes to a halt? when connecting to an NFS server using der Finder.app (keyboard shortcut CMD-K nfs://server/export) to anything other than unRAID the mounted share is almost unusable. I can nonnect to NFS exports running on debian or slackware using the terminal command "mount" with the option "locallocks" and it works just fine. I even copied the /etc/exports file from unRAID to a freshly installed debian or slackware server and it's still not possible to get a usable connection when mounting with CMD-K in the Finder.app. are there any other options for the NFS server I can tweak besides /etc/exports ?
