SMB share drops intermittently

I have a directory on my OS X (Lion) Mac Pro set up to be shared via SMB. I can mount this directory fine as a network drive from various Windows machines, but the share sporadically disconnects for a few seconds at a time, which makes it rather hard for programs that are trying to write to the disk at the time... I've noticed this from two separate Windows machines connected to the same Mac, so I'm pretty sure it's OS X, not the Windows side, that's having problems.
Does anyone know how to fix this (or how to get more information to help Apple fix this)?
Thanks.
Richard Stanton

thank you very much for your answer.
But my problem is not the listing of available shares of an serving system.
My exactly problem is to find out which PCs are offering SMB services. After I know which PCs are offering SMB services, I could find out with you command what exactly shares this PCs are offering.
Any ideas?!?
Thank You.

Using an "if not exists" command with a folder on an SMB share

I'm trying to use an "if not exists" command on a folder which is stored on a mounted smb share..
This part of my script is supposed to check if a folder exists and;
If it does - Skip to the next part of the script
If it doesn't - Create the folder.
At the moment it either errors saying that the folder doesn't exist or doesn't create the folder.
I can get this script to work fine using local folder paths but I want to do it on an SMB share..
Here's my script.
Many thanks in advance.
Martin
set username to (do shell script "whoami")
set Media to " Media Files"
mount volume "smb://172.22.8.23/macmedia$"
tell application "Finder"
if not (exists ("smb://172.22.8.23/macmedia$/" & username as text) & Media as text) then
make new folder at "macmedia$" with properties {name:(username as text) & Media as text}
end if
end tell
tell application "Finder"
set mnt to ("smb://172.22.8.23/macmedia$/" & username as text) & Media as text
try
mount volume mnt
end try
eject "macmedia$"
end tell

Hi Camelot,
Thanks a lot for that the script's working as it should now..
I'm still having intermittent problems on some clients where it will only map the root volume "macmedia$" and freeze there.. This is a problem as they can then see and access everyone elses folders from there.
Do you know of a better/cleaner way to do what I'm trying to acheive? All i'm after is mapping an additional drive for student's so they can save larger files to our media server within their own folders.
Is there a way of checking if a folder exisits within an smb share without mounting the volume? Just trying to think outside of the box a bit..
Here's my new script;
set username to (do shell script "whoami") & " Media" as text
mount volume "smb://172.22.8.23/macmedia$"
tell application "Finder"
          if not (exists folder username of disk "macmedia$") then
make new folder at disk "macmedia$" with properties {name:username as text}
          end if
end tell
tell application "Finder"
          set mnt to ("smb://172.22.8.23/macmedia$/" & username as text)
          try
mount volume mnt
          end try
          eject "macmedia$"
end tell
Many thanks,
Martin

Windows SMB shares not showing in finder

hi,
i'm using 10.5.8 on a powermac G5 in the office and recently experienced some difficulties regarding SMB shares. there are two Win XP 32bit machines in the office network, one Win 7 64bit machine and the powermac.
1) usually, the powermac could see and access all three windows machines via finder's sidebar. that stoped working some weeks ago. none of the three PCs shows up in the sidebar now. when i use finder's "connect to server" feature, the connection is established without problems. network printing to one of the XP machines also works fine. the mac's firewall settings where set to “Set access for specific services and applications” all the time, showing AFP and SMB shares enabled. just out of curiosity, i deactivated the firewall… and voila: my three PCs showed up in the finder sidebar again. changed it back… no PCs there
what's that? why did it work before, with the firewall enabled, and all of a sudden it doesn't work anymore and i have to shut down the firewall, to see my windows shares?
2) for some time it was sufficient that i could access the windows shares from my mac. now my colleagues needed to access the mac from their windows machines. as they do not need to have access to my entire home folder, i added the relevant (sub)folder from my documents folder via SMB guest sharing, setting the access rights to "read&write" for everyone, so that no password was needed for guests accessing that folder. however, all three windows machines could only see the standard public folder with its drop box, but not the newly added folder. experimented for over an hour or so, changing settings, trying to add other folders… until i found out, that the folder will only show up on the windows network, when it's located on the top level of my home folder, but not, if it's located in a subfolder (i.e. in documents, music, etc.)
is this meant to be that way? or am i doing something wrong?

If this is still driving you crazy...
I had the same problem and by figuring out which machine was the Master Browser I managed to fix it. I have a Windows 7 system and it had taken over as the Master Browser (probably because I had to rebuild my Mac). I disabled the Computer Browser service on the W7 computer and a 2003 server in my network automatically took over as the Master Browser. All of the Windows machines immediately appeared under Shared Items on my Mac sidebar.
I followed the instructions from:
http://robmulally.blogspot.com/2009/03/macbook-master-browser-and-my-mate.html
- on how to figure out which machine is the Master Browser in the network. The link came from a different discussion on the same issue (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1877116?start=0&tstart=0). There are also instructions (although somewhat vague) on how to make your Mac the Master Browser.
I hope this is of some help.

Problem with SMB share

Hi!
I have a problem when connecting to a SMB file share on a Windows 2003 R2 server (also acting as a Domain Controller for the Active Directory domain) using OS X 10.5.2.
I've just reinstalled Leopard to rule out any problems with messy configuration on the client, but the problem persists. The newly installed Leopard client is not a member of the AD domain at the moment.
When connecting to the server share (with cmd+K in Finder), I have to login using a AD account. The share is after successful login accessible through Finder and I could traverse the folders and read / copy all the files on the share. I could also save smaller files (less than 16 KB) to the server.
However, if I try to save a larger file (more than 16 KB) the files gets created on the server share, but stays a 0 KB. The access to the server share freezes during 60 seconds and the "Copy" window just tells me it has copied 0 KB of the file so far. No data seems to be written to the file at all.
After Finder gives up, the "Copy" windows tells me that "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items".
From time to time Finder has also disconnected the share during problems, and OS X has crashed on me in kernel panic four times when testing. I haven't been able to track down the action triggering these errors yet.
The shares on the server works just fine when using the same username/password from a Windows XP client machine.
I don't see this problem when mounting a share from a Windows XP client in Leopard.
What could be wrong here? Is there some setting on the Windows server that has to be done to work with Leopard? (I've read about the SMB signing, but Leopard shouldn't need the signing to be turned off, should it?)
At the moment I'm having a hard time using the shiny new MBP at work, so any help on this would be highly appreciated!
Best regards, Jonas Mixter

I have an issue with OSX Leopard (10.5.2) , where by I can't write to NTFS shares on W2K3 servers with SMB signing turned on and IPV6 disabled for the interface.
To recreate the issue:
Create a folder named test that contains two files one named ._test.txt and test.txt on OSX and copy to an SMB share on W2k3.
This results in spurious errors about permissions and locked files.
Copying a file larger than 4k results in the error:
"The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges or some of the items."
Using mount_smbfs from a shell on OSX results in the error: "Permission denied"
host:~ user$ mount_smbfs //user@server/share /Volumes/test-smbmount/
Password:
host:~ user$ cp test.docx /Volumes/test-smbmount/
cp: /Volumes/test-smbmount/test.docx: Permission denied
Using smbclient from a shell on OSX results in SUCCESS!!!
host:~ user$ smbclient \\\\server\\\share -U user

There is an alternative solution if you do need to drag and drop in your gui world, it'll cost you $120

I have mailed the developer as he has obviously identified the root problem of the issue and I urged him to share his patch/resolution with Apple in the interests of the user community and a darn nice thing to do.I had a response form the developer to my request. I sent my workaround solution to the developer and stated that in my opinion the pricing for the software seems unnecessarily high based on the functionality it provides and way above what I would be willing to pay to resolve one small issue.
<developers response>
Pricing is a difficult topic to discuss -- but if you have no use for the product, any price is too much. As for reporting bugs to Apple, they'll listen to customers much sooner than they'll listen to developers. And they have some of the brightest engineers I know. If you report the bug to them, they'll likely have it fixed in the next update.
</developers response>
I couldn't find away to report the bug myself so I had a friend do it for me. The response I had back from Apple was less than satisfactory.
They believe that the issue is to do with NTFS streams and that a file containing ".com.apple.smb.streams.on" needs to be created and placed into the root of shared volumes. This is not a fix!
If you want to prevent writing the "Apple Double" files to a remote share, enter the following into a terminal:
$ defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true

Before Mac OS X, the Mac OS used 'forked' files, which have two components: a data fork and a resource fork. The Mac OS Standard (HFS) and Mac OS Extended (HFS Plus) disk formats support forked files. When you move these types of files to other disk formats, the resource fork can be lost.
With Mac OS X, there is a mechanism called "Apple Double" that allows the system to work with disk formats that do not have a forked file feature, such as remote NFS, SMB, WebDAV directories, or local UFS volumes. Apple Double does this by converting the file into two separate files. The first new file keeps the original name and contains the data fork of the original file. The second new file has the name of the original file prefixed by a "._ " and contains the resource fork of the original file. If you see both files, the ._ file can be safely ignored. Sometimes when deleting a file, the ._ component will not be deleted. If this occurs you can safely delete the ._ file.

I am not the only one this issue. A quick peruse on http://macwindows.com/ will show that numerous people are suffering and numerous workarounds have been suggested. Sadly none of which work for me. Each work around is stranger than the previous. Such as disabling IPV6 and updating Daylight Savings Time.
The issue lies with the samba integration. I am primarily a Gentoo Linux user and this kind of bug would have been resolved almost instantly if present in open source software.

SMB Share with Access Based Enumeration & Mac OSX 10.8/10.9

Hello,
I've been working on a bit of a problem related to some SMB Shares on Windows Server 2012 with Access Based Enumeration with Mac OSX 10.8 & 10.9.
Basically, we have one network share that mounts for all of our Students & Faculty on campus. Then, based on which security group the user is inside of in Active Directory, they gain access and visibility to different folders. (Basically, if they are members of the graphic design department, they get access to the Graphic Design's folder). All of that is working fine, no problems. From there we have 3 folders that branch off. We have a Distribution, an Open, and a Dropbox folder.
Distribution is setup as a spot for instructors to have full access, students have read access, They're able to drop files into this locations, to distribute them to their students. This folder is working fine, no problems.
Open is setup with everyone read/write access across the board. This folder is setup for students to share data to each other, work on projects, etc. This folder is working as intended, no problems.
Dropbox is the only folder we're having trouble with, i'm assuming because it's settings are the most complex out of the three. The purpose of the drop box is for students to have read/write control over their own content, but not others, and instructors to have read/write over this entire folder.
Now that I've laid out our Setup, the problem we've encountered, is ONLY occurring inside of the Dropbox folder. When I try to Drag/Drop OR Copy/Paste from another location on the computer into the Dropbox folder, I get a permission error. HOWEVER, if I have a file open, and I click "save as" browse to the dropbox folder, I can save the file into that location without any trouble. Also, on our windows computers, with the same exact users, drag/drop & Copy/Paste work normally.
Things I've Tried:
Disabling the .DS_Store - I figured in the drop box, the .DS_Store would be created by the first user who copied a file in, then subsequent users would not have access to the .DS_Store.
CIFS/SMB1 - I've read that SMB2 can cause some trouble while connecting to SMB Shares, so I tried both connecting via CIFS, and also by forcing back to SMB1, with no fix.
Am I missing something with this? I've read a lot about people having trouble connecting to SMB Shares, but for us it had not been a problem up until this point. Does anyone know what a possible fix might be for this? I'm sifting through internet searches right now, trying to find a solution, however MOST of the responses I see are regarding the two things I've already tried.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

hi everybody
I really need some help so here is a little up !
thanks !

Finder gets stuck when reading contents of large folders on a SMB-share

Hai thar, everyone. Recently I've found a sad bug in the world's most advanced OS. I wonder why it was left almost unnoticed as I was unable to find out some info on it so I created this topic in hope to turn attention to this issue when no solution is available right now by far. In short, bug consists in Finder's misbehaviour when it reads contents of big folders on a mounted SMB-shares like stated in the title. Number of files - somewhat around 11-12 thousands/folder. What't interesting, when one goes to the shared folder which contains not much files (below critical limit) - everything's just fine. When one opens a "bomb"-folder, Finder does nothing. It won't display folder's contents and moreover, it won't display contents of other folders on the share anymore, however, it's still able to show up contents of those folders you have visited just before opening "bomb"-folder. Probably it simply has the contents of visited folders cached somewhere. The second consequence, connection to the SMB-share seems to degrade. Speed drops to miserable numbers and case you open some big file from the share theres a chance that it'll be loaded slowly. It's not that hot idea in fact, to load network by watching videos directly from the SMB-server =) but if you do open a movie, playback will be jerky as **** while it was perfect just before you poked the "bomb" and current traffic is very little - a few kbps/~100bps (according to Activity Monitor). As stated before, stuck Finder seemingly affects overall connection to the SMB-server in some strange manner. FS notifications get broken too, on the share.
In general Finder proceeds functioning. It has no problems with local FS/other kinds of remote FS, but SMB. It looks like theres a stuck thread serving requests to for the file objects on the SMB-share which actually gets stuck or does extremelly slowly.
The workaround is pretty simple and straight forward - you have to restructurize your "bomb"-folders by splitting them into several subfolders or such. Simply get rid of that huge heap of files stored in a single folder, fragment them and keep their number below 10k/folder. However, this is not a fix. It's only workaround. Fix should follow, as this issue is not only a "little inconvenience" but also a software flaw.
This bug affects at least OS X 10.7.5 (11G63). Something similar was seen also on OS X 10.6.6
WBR
PS: sorry for my broken English.

Reporting the same problem.
1. Have Windows 7 MediaCenter with file sharing set up properly (LM+NTLM Authentication allowed and 128-bit encryption disabled in security policies).
2. Test folder ("C:\income") and all the subfolders' owner is 'Guest', full access is granted for everyone.
3. Connecting to MediaCenter from MacBook with Finder by pressing Cmd+K and typing smb://ip-addr/income
4. Finder connects successfully, but some sub-folders and files are not being listed.
Workaround:
5. You can open a not-listed folder directly by pressing Cmd+K and typing smb://ip-addr/income/some-invisible-folder
6. Voila! You're inside invisible folder.
In the meantime, i can see all the sub-folders on a Windows XP client machine, so i can make a conclusion that all of these 'invisible' sub-folders are actually accessible by Finder, but in some reason are just not being listed on Mac.

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

Just thought I'd post this in case it helps someone. This could be the same problem we have (had) here so try this:
When it asks for name and password put this in the name field: sharename\name
So if the share is called "WWW" and your login name is "Bob" you'd put "www\Bob" in the name field and then normal password in the password field.
Works perfectly for us. I cant remember when it started 10.7 or 10.8 but this was the only solution. Hope it helps someone else!

Slow transfer from/to SMB share over Airport

Recently I updated my Macbook's Airport with 2008-004 (OSX 10.5.5) update and now I am experiencing very slow transfers to and from SMB share.
I get normal speeds (~3MBps) if I copy file from my macbook to iMac, but when I copy the same file to (or from) Windows share the speed drops to ~130kBps after 1 or 2 gigabytes of transfer and never recovers to full speed afterwards. If I connect to this Windows machine using FTP the transfer speed is normal - 3MBps.
I also tried streaming to my appleTV which is also connected wirelessly and all movies play just fine.
If I connect my macbook to wired 100Mbps ethernet the transfer speed to windows share is full 8MBps.
Anyone has any ideas what's happening?

This has been an ongoing problem of the Airport Extreme for, well, forever. In the beginning, I even thought my AE was broken, so I returned it to the shop to get a new one. I got a new one alright, but it has the same problem.
I've Googled this problem many times and once in a while I try again to hopefully find a solution, but no luck so far. Whenever there is a software (or actually firmware) update for the AE I get very excited, only to get disappointed again.
The performance of the AE I have now is really unpredictable, sometimes it would do up to 8 MB/sec. Lately though, it only does 1 MB/sec and the network activity looks really weird (a lot of spikes in traffic and then slowing down again).
I'm 100% Mac here and nothing in this house runs windows, so I'm really lost on this subject and I feel like I should give up and just buy myself a good Linksys that actually does the job.
But, just to keep trying: does anybody found a solution to this common problem?

Mounted SMB share does not show in sidebar but shows up in computer

Mounted SMB share does not show in sidebar and is unavailable to some apps (itunes, chrome). Shares do show up when browsing computer. Where should I start?
This started after upgrade to 10.7.3

Interesting short term solution - drag and drop share from finder->computer to sidebar. This only works short term - after reboot share will still not show in sidebar.

Creating a folder on an SMB share using a Mac

Hi everyone,
This is more of a question than a problem I'm trying to solve, really. Though the answer might help me better explain the issue to our security team.
Our environment has multiple Windows file servers, both 2003 and 2008. If one of these SMB shares is accessed from a Mac and the user creates a folder, will the ACLs on the share that are set to cascade actually cascade to this newly created folder? We've had issues in the past where ACLs that are supposedly set to cascade on a shared folder are not present on sub-folders created from Macs.
Next question: if the share resides on a netapp device, do the same rules apply? The Macs are still connecting to these shared folders using the SMB protocol.
All Macs are bound to our 2008 AD domain and use network accounts with local homefolders. The issue seems to happen when one or both of the following things happen:
1. A Mac user copies/creates a folder on a Netapp share and for some reason it doesn’t inherit rights correctly
2. We move the folder from one share on an actual Windows server to the Netapp and it doesn’t take permissions correctly.
Please let me know if you need any other information.

Let's put it this way: I'm asking on a Mac site because the people on non-windows support sites are WAAAAY more interested in talking about problems and solutions involving things other than Windows.
I'm fairly certain that the windows servers ARE respecting their own inheritance rules, barring any major bugs and the like which someone may know about...
The isue isn't with Macs moving shares to a netapp, it's with a share being moved to a NetApp that has folders created by a Mac. Talking with our security team further, it seems the problem may be limited to shares resident on a NetApp or moved from a Windows server to a NetApp.
I was primarily asking to see if anyone knew of any issues with these particular situations or had experienced something similar and had dug into it any deeper with F5 (NetApp vendor).

Unable to mount SMB shares under Mac OS 10.6.5

Help -
*I can no longer mount any shares from my Seagate BlackArmor NAS-110*. I bought the device (a 1TB network drive with CIFS (aka SMB), NFS, and FTP capabilities (no AFP connectivity)) in June of 2010, and it was working fine until appx (18 Nov, 2010). My computer - MacPro 2x2.26GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon (early 2009) with 12GB of 1066MHz DDR3 RAM and Mac OS 10.6.5. My home network is running on Apple's TimeCapsule router (version 7.4.2).
Note: Problems began after installation of recent updates:
11/10/2010 - Mac OS 10.6.5
11/12/2010 - iTunes 10.1
11/13/2010 - iLife '11
11/13/2010 - iPhoto 9.1
11/18/2010 - Safari 5.0.3
I'm not sure which, if any, of these updates may have intrudced new code which impacted my ability to mount SMB/CIFS shares, or whether this problem is isolated to the NAS-110 (actually, reading numerous posts about connectivity issues (during/over the last month or so) shows similar issues with other external drives, servers, NAS devices). The issues may not have materialized until I rebooted the NAS or the Mac. FYI: The only firewall I'm using is the Mac's built in firewall, and I've got File Sharing (AFP, SMB) set to Allow Incoming.
What happens? I can't mount the SMB shares. I can see the device in my finder. It shows up as "BA-22B9C2", and I can see the sharepoint folders (in Finder): Download, Public, and wiki. When I attempt to SMB mount the shares (by any of the following methods: Double-Click in Finder, use 'Go->Connect to Server' or using the 'BlackArmor Discovery' application) The share/folder icon does not appear on my desktop. It creates a mount-point in the /Volumes directory, but no folder appears on the desktop. I can 'cd' into the sharepoint, and I can see that Spotlight has attempted to index the sharepoint (a .Spotlight-V100 directory was created), but I cannot see the 'Our Music, Our Pictures, or Our Videos' folders inside the Public share/directory. Successive attempts to mount a share, using Finder results in additional mount points in the /Volumes directory (Public-1, Public-2, Public-3, etc), but no folder icons on my desktop.
FYI: The 'Connected servers' setting (under 'Shared') is enabled in my Finder's Prefences (along with Bonjour and Back to My Mac), so connected shares should appear on the desktop.
Attempts to mount shares using the Connect to Server method (smb://10.0.1.2/Public, smb://admin:[email protected]/Public) also fail. No folder appears on desktop. The password/login authenticates (connecting to server), and a mount point is created in the /Volumes directory, but no folder appears on the desktop.
Attempts to mount shares using the BlackArmor Discovery application generate similar results. Shares are visible in the tool. I click on the 'Public' share (which has permissions set to 'read, write, execute' for all), then click the 'Mount Share' button. I am presented with an authentication/login dialog. I log in as a Registered user (name: admin password: admin) Once again, a mount point is created in the /Volumes directory, but no folder appears on the desktop.
Notably, whenever I attempt to mount a share, Spotlight indexes the share, but then it dies on my computer. Spotlight stops indexing my primary drive (where the OS is installed for my Mac). I have to stop the mds process using Activity Monitor. mds restarts automatically, and it starts indexing my primary drive again. While this may not be critical to my troubleshooting efforts, it has caused some considerable consternation on my part.
I initially (back around the 18th of Nov, 2010) attempted troubleshooting with the assistance of Seagate technicians, but they quickly gave up on the email support, insisted I had to continue over the phone, which costs ~$14.00 per 'incident' and isn't convenient for my schedule.
I've already attempted to update the firmware on the NAS (from 1000.0361 to 1000.1081), but that won't work. The NAS indicates a firmware update (1000.1081) is available, but it reports: "Firmware is not found". I had a friend try this update using his Windows machine (and my NAS), with the same results. He tried with a a Vista box and a Windows-NT running through emulation. I also tried to manually update. I downloaded the firmware image file "sg1000-1000.1081.img" from the Seagate downloads page, and attempted a manual update on the NAS. That failed with error "Failed to upload new firmware image to system." Once again, my friend tried to perform a manual update to the NAS. He downloaded a new copy of the file (from the Seagate downloads page), and he got the same error.
The Seagate techs recommended that I update the firmware. I explained my problems updating the firmware, and I have asked the Seagate techs (via email) for a known good copy of the firmware update, but they do not answer my requests for such.
The Seagate techs recommended that I restore the NAS with a factory reset. That caused plenty of problems, as their is no mac software to recover the factory reset 'key' from the device (need device MAC, and I presume some sort of hashing key stored on the device). So, I had to cart the drive over to my friends house, and have him attempt the restore. After some initial confusion regarding the MAC address, we were able to successfully restore the device to it's factory settings.
Note: Before attempting the factory reset, my friend attempted to mount the SMB shares (on the NAS), using his Mac running 10.6.5. He encountered the same problems I encountered. When he tried using his Windows-NT (through VMFusionWare emulation) *he WAS able to mount the shares*. O.k. This must be a Mac OS issue, and not a Seagate NAS issue. - Now that the drive has been restored to factory defaults, it's pretty much empty (some folders, but no data). Default admin/admin username/password are in place.
I'm not sure which, if any of my most recent software updates may have introduced changes to smb/samba, so I tried mounting the device using other services. It's capable of FTP and NFS as well as CIFS/SMB.
I tried to create an NFS mount. I tried using two different methods (an application called NFS Manager and the 'Connect to Server' method built into the Mac. Both methods failed to establish a nfs mount to the server. No login errors were noted, but no mount points were created in /Volumes, and no folders appeared on the desktop.
I tried to connect via FTP, that didn't work either (using an my Transmit client). I'm certainly striking out with this drive. My Mac will not mount the shares/folders. I tried FTP (to 10.0.1.2 as admin) using Transmit application (on port 21). Transmit reported "Could not retrieve file listing for “/Public”. Server said: OOPS: Child died Error -162: Port failed". Connectivity protocols of CIFS, NFS and FTP (on port 21) are enabled on the NAS and the /Public share.
*When I attempt to connect using the Connect to Server method (See Apple's 'Go' menu in the Finder), I met with sucess!* ftp://10.0.1.2/Public connect attempt resulted in two pop ups. One of them said 'connecting', the other said something about "'NetAuthAgent' (I didn't write it down) wants permission to access your confidential keychain data" Presumably, this was the authentication request. I said 'Always allow'. A folder appeared on my desktop and a finder window opened showing the contents of that folder. Unfortunately, the share is 'read only'; even when I attempt to authenticate as a specific user.
Note: I don't think FTP attempts to index the mounted shares.
Prior to the factory reset, I was able to connect to the shares using the Seagate's 'Global Access' web based ftp service. Now I cannot connect through the Global Access page.
Below are 'Console' entries and a listing of my /Volumes directory. These may help resolve the issue. I deleted some entries (those I felt were unrelated to the issue). I left in stuff that's been bothering me.
_*Can anyone help me reestablish SMB connectivity with my NAS-110?*_

O.k. Thanks for the clarification. I poked around in my TimeCapsule router's settings (TimeCapsule is an Apple Airport Extreme router with attached hard drive for wireless backup/storage). Unfortunately, it doesn't look like I can disable multicasting with the TimeCapsule. I can change the multicasting 'rate'. Settings are Low, Medium, High. It's currently set to Low.
I did a few web searches, and found an Apple.com article: <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3789?viewlocale=en_US> which explained how to disable Bonjour Service Advertisements. I believe this is the same thing as 'Multicasting'. The process is a modification of "/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist", and a restart of the Mac is required afterwards.
I'm a bit concerned that disabling multicasting will interfere with my AppleTVs and iTunes music sharing, but I may try it next time I'm up for a computer workout. This task will require editing of system preference files, could require multiple restarts, might interfere with my AppleTVs, could interfere with my iTunes file sharing, doesn't have a documented relationship to my problem.
This is way to difficult for something that should just work. Did you say you had read something about a relationship between this bonjour multicasting and smb connectivity? If it was online could you post the link?
I'm currently able to connect to the drive using NFS, but I have to manually configure that connection each time I reboot (can't get the 'Disk Utility' configured to do it automatically). While it's working with NFS, it's not my preferred connect method (for various reasons).

Copy file from SMB share to Desktop permissions

I have connected to a SMB share point (Windows Server)and copy a file to my desktop (Mac OS X 10.6.4).
The file on my desktop shows I have the read and write access, however, everyone has no access.
I could not get the system administrator to change on the server side. Is it possible to make any changes from my machine to make at lease every has read only access?
Thanks in advance.

I downloaded D2KWUtil from the link suggested by you. It has very nice example demo form. But the documentation provided says following
Using D2KWUTIL in Web Deployed Applications
The use of this library is not supported with Web deployed applications.
In a web deployment scenario not all functions within D2KWUTIL will work. Any function that interacts with the User Interface (such as those in the WIN_API_DIALOG package) will fail.
Any interaction with the O/S by other functions will all be executed on the NT server and will act within, or return information pertinant to, the environment on that machine. For instance GET_COMPUTER_NAME will return the Server’s name, not the name of the computer that the Client browser is running on. Likewise COPY_FILE will copy files in the Forms Server not on the Client.
Functions such as those in WIN_API_BITOP will continue to work without change.
so this will not work in web deployed application.
Any other suggestion?
Thanks

Share one iTunes library on a SMB share between PC & Mac

Hi,
Is there anyway I can share one iTunes library and the music files on a SMB share between a PC and a Mac? I assume there would be a problem with how the Mac and PC assign network drives differently would be an issue, or is there a way around this?
At the moment I'm only sharing the music files on the SMB share but with separately iTunes library on the PC and Mac.

I have itunes match. its good but its not perfect. it downloads wrong versions of songs. for example it downloads the censored version of many of my songs. plus it doesnt do podcasts, movies, tvshows, books.
plus it doesnt show my smart playlists in the same track order as on my computer. its good but it has bugs and shortcomings.
thanks for the suggestion but i'd like to try the way i initially posted about.

How to use smb share for home directory with AD account

I have extended the schema of our AD and bound a macbook pro running 10.6.8 to the domain. AD users are able to logon, and if I select the option to use their AD homedirectory attribute then this smb share is used as a network drive. My question is though, I need users to logon to MAC using a different smb share for their home drive than the path set in the home directory attribute. Does anyone know how I can achieve this?
Cheers
Paul.

But this method cannot use Regular Expression because my searching target is more than one line.Yes it can!
Like you said, first you list all the files in the folder.
For each file, use a BufferedReader to read the first lines, then you may use a StringBuffer to append the lines into it (don't forget to append the '\n' to each line).
Finally, compile your pattern ( "^November.*\nDecember" ) with the DOTALL flag,
verify that the string (from StringBuffer) matches the pattern and there you have it!

Problems saving to an SMB share using 10.8

Issue happens in CS5 after Mountain Lion Upgrade 10.8
when using CS5 to save files via a SMB connection to a Windows Server the following error is displayed "could not save filename due to a program error"
however file save functionality in other programs / finder succeeds as expected with no issue.

Branched this out to a new discussion. Which Adobe application are you trying to save to the SMB share from?
