Hello there! I am a total noob to Unraid and I just started using this yesterday.

I have created an SMB share, however when I upload nothing happens. Windows just sits there and says "calculating". This can happen with a 17 MB file and it wont progress anything. Whenever i restart my server, the same thing happens. I have a gigabit ethernet link between the server and my windows 11 pc. In the picture i have pressed cancel on my 2 uploads, however they remain stuck on the windows uploading thing. https://pasteboard.co/nG95KYeuvsaJ.png

 

At first i had a cache drive on this share, but i tried removing it to see if it caused any issues, but that didn't help.

The 2 following pictures show my share settings: https://pasteboard.co/2LdTDEkQqENn.png https://pasteboard.co/0OkcS5wWnNDe.png

I am running version 6.12.3 

 

Please do let me know if you need any additional information.

I will be in touch below.

Thank you ❤️ 

Kind regards,

Magnus

attach diagnostics to your NEXT post in this thread

As requested, here is the diagnostics file. 

I also tried uploading files using nextcloud and that went super well, no issues at all. uploaded 41.2 GB total, to nextcloud.

It must be related to the SMB share.

Shouldn't be anything on the windows side. I was running truenas previously and i just switched over to Unraid. My uploads had no such issue on truenas, so i doubt its a windows setting. 

I should also mention that my NIC on the server is an intel based one, so it should be suited for this kind of stuff. I am not sure if Unraid is as picky as Truenas, when it comes to NIC.

I also encountered that it could upload, just after I made my original post, however when I tried to upload another folder I ran into the same issue again. 

If I were to guess, it’s probably some app which is messing up. I’ll try removing some and figure out where the issue is. It could be that the disks just aren’t spinning up? I will try once I’m back home again.

Wasn’t an app removal that fixed it, however it was the case sensitive names, which is a setting inside the SMB. It can be found on this picture, which is also included on the original post: https://pasteboard.co/0OkcS5wWnNDe.png 

 

I am not entirely convinced if it’s fully working, but I will be testing that today if I get time. I definitely did transfer some files, but even with that setting on “forced lower”, I got lucky and transferred once. Now it’s just set to “auto” I think it’s called. I’m not currently home to check. 

Once I’ll get home again I’ll transfer more files and if the case sensitivity setting made it work, then I’ll put this post as the solution.
