Intermittent unresponsive Samba


Recommended Posts

Hello all!

 

For some reason accessing shares from Windows becomes unresponsive. Sometimes waiting helps, then other times it seems I need to force close Windows Explorer. Are there any settings that I can change to fix this unresponsiveness? The drives are all spun up and they are all in good health.

 

Much thanks!

on windows 10 by any chance?

 

Yes sir. I'm going to test this out on Windows 7 when I get the chance but yes, it is currently happening on Windows 10. It wasn't always like this. This has just started happening a few days ago.

Win10 has a really annoying issue like the one you described... effecting in my case both network(unraid) and a secondary SSD.
I only recently fixed it and it was simple to do with immediate results.

1. Open Windows Explorer/File Explorer.

2. Click the 'view' tab.

3. Click 'Options' button at the far right hand side of the view ribbon.

4. On the 'General' Tab, un-tick the two privacy options, and click 'Clear'.

5. Apply/OK to exit.


I also Cleared File Explorer history for good measure while I was there.

Hope that fixes your issue :)

I had similar symptoms with RFS on my array. Since using XFS, have not seen this behavior.

 

All my disks are XFS except for the btrfs cache drive.

 

I have also tried clearing the two privacy options in Windows Explorer options, but they were already unselected. But I don't use Windows Explorer anyway. This is pretty frustrating since it makes my pool unusable at time without a force close.

it works for me, but i can't move files in a sufolder, only in the main page of the network folder.
