I didn't want to necrobump - so I'm making this thread. But basically my question is the same as this thread:
https://www.ixsystems.com/community/threads/os-x-not-releasing-locks-on-samba-share.58967/
I've been trying to get my setup using more "modern" formats and protocols. Namely - moving from writing my backups as a sparseimage to a sparsebundle. Also working on moving from AFP sharing to SMB. I've been working on this all day - and it's working (with problems). I do want to say thanks to @anodos for helping me out this morning in another thread.
Anyway - the crux of my problem now is what appears to be file locking issues. With a sparsebundle format, the image is split into many smaller files called "bands". After I run my backup (I use Carbon Copy Cloner) - I still see "locked" files on FreeNAS (I'm running
Is there any new information or solutions for this ? I'm really trying to get with the times and move away from AFP - but man - having something that works without all of these issues is pretty temping to fall back on. AFP is a hell of a drug for me :)
Also relevant versions: Freenas 11.2-U2.1, macOS 10.14.3 (latest)
Thanks in advance for any pointers.
EDIT: Just found this: https://redmine.ixsystems.com/issues/5904
I don't pretend to understand everything there. But from what I can gather the vfs_fruit module will "fix some mac quirks". Looks like that is slated to come in with some 11.3 version of FreeNAS. Is this something I could try now ? If so - how ? I don't want to blindly add these vfs parameters to the config.

smbstatus
to see this). I've tried some of the suggestions in that thread from 2017, but I still have the issue. I can recreate the issue by browsing to the share, mounting the sparsebundle, poking around, unmounting the sparsebundle and finally unmounting/disconnecting the SMB share in Finder. This is where the problem occurs as Finder will pop a warning that files are in use and present me with the option to "Force eject" - which I reluctantly do.Is there any new information or solutions for this ?
