If you face issues connecting to your NAS, or connections to Windows file servers dont work as expected (e.g., inability to rename files or folders), it may help to switch back to the slower but more reliable SMB 1. This will bring up a menu where you can add the A-class volume which will be listed under Devices. Then, under Shared Folders, select the + button. Thanks to Cammodude for the solution here he also posts a Terminal tip (at your own risk) for permanently forcing Finder to use SMB1 instead of SMB2. OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) brought SMB 2 as the default network protocol with OS X 10.10 (Yosemite), SMB 3 was added. In order to share an A-class volume in OS X Mavericks, you must first open the Sharing pane in System Preferences and then select the check box for File Sharing. It worked for me with both my NAS and my Windows PC, so there's a good chance it will work for you.Īpple's Support Boards are filled with users pulling their hair out over this one, so we hope the tip is of use to you. Type "cifs:// yourservername" and hit Return the server should mount.ĬIFS ( Common Internet File System) is just another name for the SMB protocol, but using it in the server URL forces the Finder to use the older (not broken) SMB1 implementation, rather than the buggy SMB2. Here's how it works: In the Finder, choose the "Go" menu and select "Connect to Server." (command-K).
One easy fix involves changing a little bit of text in your server connection URL. Apple's SMB2 implementation doesn't work with a lot of SMB2 devices - even networked drives from Windows machines. The cause appears to be changes made in the networking stack made by Apple. Fortunately there’s a very easy workaround to connect to SMB and NAS shares from OS X Mavericks, OS X Yosemite, and OS X El Capitan: From the OS X Finder, hit Command+K to summon Go To Server as usual In the Server Address field, enter the IP to connect to with the cifs:// prefix as follows. My NAS tried to mount forever and failed same with a Windows 8 PC on my network. Mac Admins Podcast, the issues some people have had with OS X 10.9 Mavericks, one of the biggest gotchas was a loss of access to SMB network shares - the connection many NAS devices (Network attached storage), Windows PCs or Linux servers use to provide file sharing. Thanks so much to our Patreon supporters. We couldn't do it without the support of the community!Īllen Hancock, /ccp Sleep 60 touch "/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/.plist"ĭave continues: All you have to do is actually 'touch' the /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/.plist file and that's enough to restart it.
To restart the smbd daemon in OS X Server 10.7 10.8 10.9 add this plist to launchd No need to restart that mini you can just restart the SMB daemon, and since SMB is stateless, it normally won’t affect connected users. Dave Provine of Premier Mac was kind enough to write in with a great tip, following our discussion of SMB issues with Mavericks Server in Episode 60:
