I'm running FreeNAS-9.10.1 (d989edd) as a fileserver for a computer lab. Lab clients are all Macs running OS 10.11.6, connecting via SMB.
I put a little bash script in the "skel" folder that retrieves each user's archived files from last year, via rsync (archived files are stored elsewhere on the FreeNAS). It's not automatic, users can run it if they want to. A couple of users have reported that when they run this script, the folder of retrieved files doesn't show up in the Finder. But if they list the directory thru Terminal, it's there.
Eventually I guess the folder shows up, but it seems the Finder is sometimes very slow to update directory listings when changes are made thru command line. Other times it seems to work just as expected, so I'm not sure what's going on.
I'm not seeing the kind of all-around slowness in Finder window listings that would point to a general problem with SMB.
Anyone seen something like this?
