I recently assembled a FreeNAS 8.3.1 server using new hardware.
6 x 4TB spindle disks
mini-ITX case with Intel i5 processor
16GB RAM
Intel Gig Ethernet
I primarily use Macs in the house for media sharing (Apple TV), however a system or two uses a CIFS share. My shares are working great, had some permissions issues initially due to my lack of knowledge with FN.
One problem remains:
After connecting to my "Media" AFP share, everything works great for an unknown period of time. After several minutes (let's say more than 15), my Apple TV will no longer play content, and iTunes tells me the files can no longer be located. If I go to the finder and browse for the share again, everything works fine, but it requires me to manually browse for the share to reconnect.
So as a temporary solution, I put together a small script that runs via cron, that touches a file on the dataset, and this has solved my problem. I don't mind this solution, but there must be something better; I must have a misconfiguration right?
One test that just came to mind is using "netstat -an|grep 548"... I will remove my crontab and check this intermittently.
