January 9, 20224 yr 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)
January 15, 20224 yr Author 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!
