October 2, 20232 yr When I try to open a folder on my Mac, I get spinning beachball. Not sure if it is due to tailscale or permissions ? I am a new user And would be grateful for advice. Thanks

Thanks I would first get things working locally without Tailscale so you at least know if TailScale is the problem.

October 9, 20232 yr Community Expert Upload a copy of the diagnostics zip file in a new post in this thread. Also set up the Syslog Server using these instructions: https://forums.unraid.net/topic/46802-faq-for-unraid-v6/page/2/?tab=comments#comment-781601 Since you can reproduce the condition very quickly, use the 'the Mirror syslog to flash:' method. After you have generated the condition, upload that file in a new post.
October 9, 20232 yr Author Thanks. Here are the files. I tried to copy files to a share but it says I don't have permissions. tower-diagnostics-20231009-1835.zip tower-diagnostics-20231009-1835.zip
October 10, 20232 yr Community Expert Try starting server in the 'Safe Mode'. (An option on the boot menu.) Did you notice lines about Docker 0 in the syslog file from the syslog server. I would be stopping all the Dockers apps from autostarting.
October 10, 20232 yr Author I started in safe mode. Now I can't write to the shares due to permissions. I tried both root and user. I just looked at the syslog file. I don't know what it means but it says something about: "docker 0 port 1 (**********) entered blocking state Oct 9 18:37:34 Tower kernel: docker0: port 1(**********) entered disabled state." None of the dockers are set to auto start so I don't know what it.
October 10, 20232 yr Author Apparently the problems of frozen operating system and extremely slow file and folder sharing between Mac and Unraid machines is caused by incompatibilities between the Unraid SMB protocol and the Apple SMB protocol used for file operations. I have heard that I need to enable the vfs_fruit module by addingto my samba extra config under Settings>SMB>SMB Extras However I am not sure how to format the text in order to achieve this . Do you know?
October 10, 20232 yr Community Expert Look here: https://forums.unraid.net/bug-reports/prereleases/macos-optimization-r2087 These setting went through a number of evoutions so you may have to go through the whole thread and there is a setting in Settings >>> SMB >>> SMB Settings This may be what you are looking for:
October 11, 20232 yr Author I already have that setting enabled. The post shows additional parameters that can be entered somewhere but does not say where or how to enter them. Do you know?

Do you know? Settings >>> SMB then look for this section/tab. Note that you have to stop the array first. Then an Editor will open up (as I recall) and you can enter anything that you want. (I suggest copy-and-paste.) Note that putting a Pound Sign--- # ---in front a line converts it to a comment and it will be ignored! (This will allow to paste all the instructions/parrameters that you want at one time and 'comment' out the ones you don't think you need. Remember that some of the Apple SMB parameters will affect Windows- (and, probably, Linux) SMB so proceed carefully.) Google Samba smb.conf and you will find all of the parameters that can be used in Samba and a description of what they do. The smb-extra.conf file for Unraid is stored in the /config directory on the flash drive. If you want to edit it outside of Unraid be careful as that file uses Linux line endings rather than Windows and Mac line endings. So be sure that you use an editor that is aware of that fact. (I use EditPad Lite for this purpose on Windows...) Edited October 11, 20232 yr by Frank1940
