SMB Shares and aliases break

Hi
I have installed SnowLeopard. We have have several machines running 10.5 (leopard). The have access to a windows server for some filesharing. There are aliases (created with the macs) on the server for easy access via smb.
However it turns out that SnowLeopard thinks the aliases are unix files. If I create an alias with snow leopard then original leopard (10.5) does not recognize it as an alias. It would appear that the two leopard versions treat aliases differently, at least over networks.

Snow Leopard is apparently having issues with SMB shares and login reliability. Seems to require a fresh login/restart as an example otherwise.

Can I Create A Symbolic Link to folders stored on an SMB Share folder?

Hello,
I am very new to Unix and was hoping that someone could point me in the right direction with regards to Symbolic links and an SMB share folder ....
Have purchased an ext. LAN Drive enclosure (http://www.macpower.com.tw/products/hdd3/pleiades/pd_usblan) which connects to my wireless router via ethernet like my G5 (main Mac) - our iBook connects via Airport. I have copied all my general documents/files to the SMB share folder on the ext. drive so that I can access them from the G5 and also the iBook.
However I'd also like to be able to store my actual Mail folder (/Users/Mark/Library/Mail/), , Safari folder (/Users/Mark/Library/Safari) + my Address Book and other folders sitting in the Application Support folder on my SMB share so all important docs/folders are in the one place. I've tried storing these folders on the SMB share and putting an Alias to these back in Users/Mark/Library/Mail etc but of course an Alias doesn't work.
Question 1: Can I create a symbolic link to these files if these are stored on an SMB share folder? If so, could you please tell me exactly what I'd need to type into Terminal? My SMB Share path is smb://STORAGE-XXXX/MARK
I have copied my iPhoto library and iTunes library to the SMB share and are working fine.
Question 2: Is it possible/worth attempting to move my whole home folder to the SMB share folder? Ideally, I'd like to be able to access my Mail from the iBook as well. If I could log into either the G5 or the iBook and access my latest Mail, Address Book and other Application Settings, that would be perfect. Would this be possible?
Thanks
Mark.

Dear Mark,
Yes you can. The command to create a link will look something like this:
$ ln -s thisFolder /Users/mark/thatFolder
I did this while I was hosting a microsoft based game. This put all of the players into a common directory.
SMB just resolved the link and everything worked fine.
However, as I understand it, some other applications do NOT work very well with links. As I have NOT tried it with other applications, I fear I can be of NO help to you in this matter.
The only way to find out which applications work with links is to try them and see what happens.
Best of luck,
Kurt

Windows machines unable to access smb shares

I know many people are having problems with smb on osx server, but my issues seems very basic, so I will try to ask for help here.
Basically, I have set up a single folder for sharing on a Mac Mini running OSX Mountain Lion Server. Directory services are provided by a WIndows 2003 server, and I have joined OSX Server to that, and am able to see all AD users and groups correctly. I have checked the boxes specifying I wish to share as afp, smb and webdav and also made shares accessible to guests.
Now, if I use a mac client, I can correctly browse the afp and smb shares, and the latter work via finder and smbutil as expected, including access via AD users, connection and file transfer.
If, instead, I use a windows client (I tried both Win7Pro and WinXP), while being able to ping the osx server machine, if I try to "explore" (entering \\hostname in explorer) the shares I get a "Network error: impossible to access ..." (approximate translation, sorry ). I tried both using the hostname and the ip address, always getting the same result.
If I try via prompt with "net view \\hostname" I get a System Error 53 (Unable to find network path).
Does anyone know if I am doing anything wrong?
Thanks
Christian

I have done some further testing, and I can report that occasionally, I am able to connect from a windows 7 professional machine by issuing the following command:
net use z:\\hostname\share /user:DOMAIN\username
mostly this command returns a 53 system error, but sometimes I am asked for the user's password and am then able to access the shared folder for a brief time.

ITunes freezes when adding music file from smb share

As title states, if I try to add more than 15/20 files to iTunes, it freezes and there's no turning back.
All my music is stored on my home-server (running Gentoo/Linux) and I have always used it with success until iTunes 10 came out.
The only thing I can do is to unmount the remote directory, open iTunes and remove the music.
I've already tried to upgrade to v10.0.1 but no luck so far.
Any clue?
Thank you

This has gotten to be a real problem for me as well. It freezes for about 40 seconds for each song I add. It even comes up as "not responding" at times in the force quit dialogue box. I rolled back to iTunes 9.2.1 as described here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2603684&tstart=0
Others have reported this fixing the problem, but it has NOT fixed it for me. I have my media on an SMB share and my library files were on the local hard drive. I tried moving the library files over to the SMB share, but it didn't improve anything.
I've been using "Activity Monitor" to look at what's going on and there's minimal CPU usage. But I am noticing something odd: the "Reads in" and "Writes out" figures are pretty much the same, which is what I would expect as I'm copying song files from my internal HD to the SMB share. But the "Data read" and "Data written" figures are very different. It's reading over twice as much data as it's writing. Either I'm misunderstanding what I'm looking at or something isn't right here. Anyone with more technical chops care to jump in?
I'd post a picture, but there doesn't seem to be a way to do this.
I'm also wondering if there are corrupted plist files or other invisible files that can be deleted and rebuilt? I used "Filebuddy" to unhide the files and found a file in the iTunes folder called "sentinel". Anyone know what that is?

Search an smb share while logged into AD with OD managed prefs

_*Hi,*_
We have a set up here where i have enabled the indexing on smb share via mdutil, but when i search the share the only things i can see are things i have created, but if i log in as a standard local user, mount the smb share and enable indexing i can search the share perfectly well.
The permissions to the various folders on the smb share (sbs 2003) all appear to be the same.
Any ideas much appreciated

I ended up (for other reasons) reinstalling Solaris 11 among other things, and at some point this strange problem went away. I don't know exactly why or what was causing it in the first place, unfortunately. At least it's gone.

Errors while copying form WIN XP SMB share

Hello,
I do have a really strange problem. I do have a XP box with a SMB share and I could use them from my iMac - means I see the mount, could create a file there and so on. I have some dir's at the XP share and there are files with long names (more than 8+3, two dots etc.). At both machines I used the same user and password, security seems not to be the problem.
I can't copy the files from my iMac using the Finder nor using mucommander. I always get something like "file not found". Although I see the files and have permissions to copy them. Of course I could copy the files from XP-XP and it's working for some files with 8.3 filenames from OSX-XP. So I thought the problem are the unusal filenames.
But the unusal filenames work if I copy form XP to OSX. So I think the problem is an OS X side because if I enable a SMB share at the iMAC and if I copy the same directories form XP to OSX, all is working fine. I also tried to increase the IPRSTACKSIZE - but this had no effect.
Has anybody an idea? I thought I could the XP box standing around just sharing some directories without working on it Now I have to logon and initate the copy process from XP to OSX if I need some files at my iMac.
best regards and thanks in advance!

I updated the systems yesterday and that did absolutely no good.
The only way that I can get a file copied over to the Win2k3 network share is to give that user 'Delete' privileges, and this is what I am trying to avoid. We don't want our users having the ability to delete files off of our server, only read and write.
"Delete Files and Folders" and "Delete" are the two security privileges that I must enable before a connected user on a Mac can copy files to the network share.

10.5.2 FTP Server- get rid of aliases to AFP/SMB shares?

Hi all,
I'd like to open up exactly one folder on my Xserve to outside FTP, from one account. That's easy to do with SACLs, and Server Admin: FTP Settings: Advanced: "Home Directory Only", and defining the FTP root as that one folder.
The problem is that this folder also gets populated with aliases to the AFP/SMB shares on this server. They don't do anything, they don't connect to anything, but yet, they also have no business being there, and I want them gone.
How can I have my FTP root not have these unwanted links?
This is exactly the issue brought up in the archived thread here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5859326&#5859326

Even if you delete the symlinks, they come back the next time a user logs into the server via FTP
SO...
Heres how I did it...
You gotta have a user that's designed to access your site!
Think about it... When you log into an FTP site, do you log in with a legitimate user name that has gui access to that computer? Make sure your users know to log in with an FTP user account that we create here.
First, I created a Group called FTP
Then I created a user named commweb (short for community web) with a home folder located in /Library/WebServer/Documents/CommunityHome
So in your server config, the home folder settings for my user are:
Mac OS X Server/Share Point URL:
afp://******.****.com/Library/WebServer/Documents
Path to Home Folder:
CommunityHome
Full Path:
/Network/Servers/****.***.com/Library/WebServer/Documents/CommunityHome
Then I made commweb a member of the group "FTP"
This is where it gets tricky.
I put the website in a folder IN my commweb's home folder. I called it CommunitySite.
(The site location is /Library/WebServer/Documents/CommunityHome/CommunitySite +you have to specify that in the web server settings+)
I then "Shared" the commweb home folder (/Library/WebServer/Documents/CommunityHome) making sure to give commweb read and write permission.
Now.... We wanna deny complete access to all the sharepoints to ANYONE in the FTP group. (Just select 'deny' - Read and write on the rest of the sharepoints) That way the ftp group can't have access to the folders even if they could see them.
So now, when my commweb user logs in, I make sure that the Initial Path is CommunitySite. Note that you have to specify it in the syntax when logging in through the terminal. For instance the command would be:
ftp commweb@****.***.com/CommunitySite
267,899 steps, but it works.

Trying to access SMB share, can read but not write, I use the domain account to autenticate and domain account has access to the share. its a samba domain and im a Windows Admin by trade.

I have two I Mac's Intel i7 models.
I have some problems getting them to write files to SMB shares.
The domain user account I use when requested to enter when i first try to connect to the share seems to go though without a problem and it presents me with a list of mounts (shares) I select one and the folder opens, I can read files and copy them but I cant write to any of the folders.
I have also mounted the network locatiosn to a folder from the terminal while also specifying a user name and password to use but this also doesnt allow the specified user account to write data to the share.
I have confirmed the user account can write to the share by having the user do so from a windows box.
any help from any of you mac guys would be great!!!!
Im a windows fan boy / Windows Server based Network Administrator and am slowly becomming a fan of your macs (mainly due to the Unix terminal access letting me realise there is more control to be had than most haters would lead you to believe).
Peace Out

I should add that I originally formatted the problematic drive for FAT32 from the Mac, but then the WinXP computer couldn't see the drive when I plugged it in directly via USB. That's why I went with Seagate's utility to format it.

Invalid Username and Password on 10.7 SMB shares

Getting "Invalid Username and Password" message when connecting to SMB shares hosted off a Mac OS 10.7 Lion machine from Snow Leopard or other OSes? Even though you know you are using the correct username and password? With the new SMB in OS X 10.7 Lion you now have to specify the name of the computer your connecting to IN the username field of the prompt or else it won't connect. Kind of like Windows. Took me a while to figure this out so I figured I'd post this here.
i.e.
instead of:
Use:

Thanks for all of your advices. I want to say:
1. I just created this new database yesterday and created SYS password during database creation from another clinet machine in my office. All connections are working. This is why I don't want to change the password at this moment. If I re-create password file, will this affect another client machine in office to connect to DB as sysdba?
2. From server, I can connect. I used the same sys/syspassword as sysdba. If the password is wrong, I would not be able to connect from server.
3. When I tried to connect from remote client machine, I do connect with string like: SQL:> conn sys/syspassword@mydb as sysdba. But it didn't work and return ORA-01017 error.
4. I have other 4 databases on different servers. I can connect from the same remote client machine through SQLPLUS and TOAD with sys as sysdba and system.
Please advise more. Thanks.

OSX 10.8 and SMB Shares with Access Based Enumeration.

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!
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!

Active Directory, Windows 2003 SP2 Server and SMB shares

I have 10 new iMacs that will be returned and exchanged for 10 HP wintels if I can't resolve an issue with SMB shares in Mac OS X 10.4.9.
We had an old win 2000 server, and all the macs could mount their smb shares without problems.
Recently we upgraded to two new 2003 sp2 servers, one of them the domain controller, and we can't mount their SMB shares. I followed this http://weblog.bignerdranch.com/?p=6&page=3 and/or this http://allinthehead.com/retro/218/accessing-a-windows-2003-share-from-os-x to allow AD authentication, but still, I can't mount the 2003 shares (but can with the 2000 ones!!!).
If I enable SFM (services for macintosh) then I can mount the shares, but:
1) the network is slower (I supouse is due to appletalk implementation)
2) and worse, names with more than 32 characters or with some special characters are not allowed. This renders 30% of our archives unavailable with the AFP solution.
I also used all the authentication methods (Plain text apple, plain text windows, etc.) but no one works.
I have now 10 days to find a solution, or all "my" macs will dissapear forever.
Please, some advice or point to documentation.
G4, G5, iMac Intel, Mac Book Pro, etc Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Do you just want to mount arbitrary share from the win servers or do you want the macs to be bound to AD?
The first requires the steps from your second link (allinthehead.com) but the latter (bind to AD) requires things like proper use of DNS, time synchronisation for kerberos to work and proper configuration as described in your first link (bignerdranch.com).
Here are some more links for the latter (AD intergration):

File Server loses all it's shares and becomes unavailable

We have problems with a Windows Server 2008 R2 File Server. At random the file server loses all it's shares and the homedrive and application shares are not available anymore. A reboot seems the only way to solve this, untill it happens again. Today we had
another crash and we were able to create a manual dump of the Server service. I have used WinDBG to analyze the dump, but I'm not really confident what I can use from this dump. Here is a copy of the dump:

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).

SMB Shares and aliases break
