August 23, 20241 yr Hi there, it is a really annoying behavior between my Mac computers and Unraid server. Have SMB configured for the file shares with a user with read and write rights. Everything works fine, you can access the share from MacOS and read/write files. Then you let the server as-is for some weeks, you don't access at all. You try to access again, log with the same previous user and it only has read access, no matter what you do. I have read many other threads on how to configure SMB/Unraid/MacOS and nothing has solved this f* annoying problem. I have reboot my Unraid and then everything works like a charm again for some period of time. I have no idea how long it takes for the problem to appear - I only use my Unraid occasionally to save photos and videos as a backup. I take shots once a month or more. Any help is really appreciated but I almost moving to Synology.
September 25, 20241 yr Author Hi JorgeB, the problem has just happened. After weeks without accessing the SMB share, I have just tried from my MacOS and it does let me write anything. Attached are the logs you asked for. Thanks for your help. Now, rebooting my unraid box... matrix-diag.zip

September 30, 20241 yr Author Thank you! I have no clue on how to solve this to be honest. This is a very old computer that I installed the controller and added new disks good 5 years ago I guess. It sounds like it is time to move to another solution. Would we have any list of recommended hardware for unraid?
