I'm running TrueNAS-12.0-U3, upgraded from an 11.3 a few days ago. My client is a Mac (10.13 / High Sierra). The TrueNAS server and my client are on the same subnet / broadcast domain. TrueNAS is serving AFP as well as SMB shares.
I've always had trouble already with previous versions of FreeNAS with announcements of the shares. It worked some times, most of the time it didn't.
The SMB shares are simply not announced. Before TrueNAS this at least worked intermittently, now it doesn't even do that anymore.
I checked this many times with Discovery and dns-sd on my Mac and I reliably get _smb._tcp. announcements from other hosts in the network.
I can always access the shares on TrueNAS just fine if I connect directly.
I have also no trouble using time machine. The _adisk._tcp. announcements work reliably for both AFP and SMB shares (8 shares overall).
Because mDNS traffic arrives without trouble at my client including from my TrueNAS server I do not investigate network problems at the moment (like Unifi APs prohibiting stations from propagating multicast etc.). I assume the problem lies at TrueNAS.
I tried to restart services with
Any idea what to investigate or how to solve this?

I tried to restart services with
service avahi-daemon onerestart
and midclt call service.restart mdns
(as proposed elsewhere here) to no avail. Also restarting my Mac did not help (and how should it anyway ...).Any idea what to investigate or how to solve this?
