Hello,
I connect to my FreeNAS directly using a patch cable. The Finder crashes all the time in past few months. Previously I used AFP, but in last few months I have switched to using SMB on all shares since Apple deprecated AFP support on El Capitan and supposedly improved SMB support. It has been a hell with directory browsing, rsync via terminal, normal copy-paste operations etc.
Finder crashes on accessing certain folders with beach ball on OS X and similar effects on Windows 10.
I have tried changing CIFS settings to SMB2 and SMB3 in the web GUI many times with multiple power cycles on both the server and the client.
Here are the network settings in FreeNAS web GUI:
NIC settings on Mac:
I want to extract all my data from the server but given the crashes, its proven futile.
How should I go about getting my data back?
Where can I find the canonical settings for NIC on server and client for connecting using a patch cable directly?
What are the correct settings for setting up shares? Following official documentation hasn't helped. I am in a very bad situation and planning to scrap the whole setup for a fresh start once I can extract my data. Please help!
Thank you in advance for your suggestions!
