SMB Enhanced OSX interoperability support ?

[anchen]

Dear Community,

FreeNAS version: FreeNAS-11.3-U3
MAC: 10.14.6

Wondering if FreeNAS has a similar setup in SMB like unraid has which is called: "Enhanced OSX interoperability"?

currently, the SMB box is not showing under the Location in Finder. This is not a big deal because i can always use Go -> Connect to Server etc etc, but would like to know if there is a way to fix that? Thank.

In Services > SMB do you have 'zeroconf share discovery' enabled? It needs to be.

"Enhanced OSX interop" in Unraid might just mean "vfs_fruit". If this is the case, then it's a bit of a misnomer. Fruit enables support for Apple's custom SMB2 protocol extensions and we basically identify ourselves as an OSX SMB server, but Macs are generally perfectly fine interop-wise with a regular SMB server. Two big things you get with vfs_fruit are:
1)Time machine support (potentially)
2) Cross-protocol locking for AFP and SMB.
3) Cross-protocol xattrs for AFP and SMB.

In 12.0 we're moving away from directly exposing VFS objects in samba. Fruit is enabled by checking the "Enable Apple SMB2/3 Protocol Extensions" checkbox under Services->SMB. ("aapl_extensions" for API users)

Hi Seanm,

Yes, that is ticked. I think that is ticked by default.
