xaositek Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 I've been using unRAID 6.8.3 flawlessly for several months now and just a heads up with macOS Big Sur Beta 6, I cannot connect to my unRAID box via SMB. I do not have AFP enabled, SMB has been tested with and without "Enhanced macOS interoperability" and no luck. I wouldn't deem this to be an unRAID bug because it works with all other Operating Systems and it worked with Big Sur Beta 5 no problems. If anyone wants to test anything, I'm pretty open to it Quote Link to comment
xjrguy Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 (edited) FYI - I have the same problem connecting to Netgear SMB shares with multiple NAS units running 6.10.3 Everything worked prior to this version of Big Sur. I can't connect using the IP address and I can't connect using DEVICENAME.local either. I have confirmed that other machines on my network can connect to these machines using SMB. I also turned on Mac OS Optimized mode on and off on the Netgear units to no avail. Hope this corroborates a problem with SMB in Big Sur latest 11.0 Beta (20A5364e) I registered here to reply to this post. Edited September 4, 2020 by xjrguy Quote Link to comment
xaositek Posted September 4, 2020 Author Share Posted September 4, 2020 (edited) Thank you @xjrguy - I did file a bug report with Apple. Bug number is FB8622248. I am able to connect to my Drobo 5N, just not my unRAID. Edited September 4, 2020 by xaositek Quote Link to comment
Pducharme Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Hi! I have the same issue, starting with Big Sur Beta 6, I can't connect thru SMB to my Unraid ! Very annoying. Is anyone was able to configure NFS in the meantime? Quote Link to comment

I haven't attempted it, not sure if Fuse is Big Sur compatible either. I'm doing what I need to over SSH, my Drobo is still my primary NAS at the moment, unRAID is running Docker images and VMs for me. Edited September 4, 2020 by xaositek Quote Link to comment
Pducharme Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 I wonder if there isn't an updated Samba package available that can fix this. Are we running latest Samba on 6.9 Beta 25 ? Quote Link to comment

I started doing some digging to file a proper bug report (side note Apple updated my ticket and there are more than 10 reports on this issue) and it appears to be a permissions or kernel problem based upon the attached screenshot.

Pducharme Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Mmm ok. Is there a command that we could run on our Apple Big Sur that will fix the Permission ?? would be an easyfix! Probably not, but who knows! If not, I suppose we can wait for Apple Big Sur Beta 7... Quote Link to comment
xaositek Posted September 4, 2020 Author Share Posted September 4, 2020 I didn't stop to think why the Drobo still worked but unRAID didn't until you poked the "huh" trigger in my head. I checked and the Drobo is still mounting over AFP FS - since I'm on unRAID 6.8.3, I can test this in a bit later as a temporary work around. Quote Link to comment

Better to wait for the 11.0.2 Edited September 5, 2020 by ghost82 Quote Link to comment

Pducharme Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 @ghost82 thanks for the workaround hopefully they will fix it in the imminent new Beta release. Quote Link to comment
ghost82 Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 (edited) No problem, glad it helped in some way. OT: this is the first time I'm following the beta development of a macOS system and the feeling is not so good..I mean..SMB (as an example) is quite a basic functionality, we are not talking about a bug manifesting in very particular situations..as many other bugs.. There should be also some issue with macOS big sur development, it seems they are a bit in delay with the beta releases compared to ios, tvos, etc...not sure we will see the release by the beginning of october..If I have to bet I would say the release would come out the last week of October.

xaositek Posted September 17, 2020 Author Share Posted September 17, 2020 Fixed in Beta 7. We can close this thread. Quote Link to comment
Anandesh Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 This SMB issue is not yet fixed as of Sep 21, 2020! macOS Big Sur Version 11 Beta (20A5364e) still needs the above work around on a MacBook Retina , 12-inch, Early 2016. Quote Link to comment

Right, because you are running beta 6, update to beta 7 and the issue is solved as reported. Quote Link to comment
ghost82 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 (edited) Solved....it seemed solved...until you try to move something (big? such as a 700 mb file, for me it seems it's anything bigger than 67,1 mb) from the shared drives and find that it fails and big kernel panic...ahhhh (beta 9) Edited October 6, 2020 by ghost82 Quote Link to comment
ghost82 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Do you still have issue with smb and big sur (beta 10)? I'm trying to move a 700 mb file from my share to my big sur desktop and all I get is a -8084 error. I have enough space (80+ gb) and the file is not corrupt. I also tried to force smb protocol to 3. Smaller files are transferred. The same 700 mb file under Catalina transfers without issues. Quote Link to comment

ghost82 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Nothing, for me it's partially broken...but on unraid 6.8.3, and not for all files (I was able to transfer some 1gb files, but failed to transfer others). On Catalina all is ok. In my opinion there's still some bug in big sur. Quote Link to comment

I haven't been able to replicate your concern. I am on RC2 and have successfully connected and moved/copied files from my 6.9B30 unRAID system without problems. 1 Quote Link to comment
