MacOs & Smb > new exotic issues !?

[tiberiusQ]

Hi,

My users report and complain about two new isses except this one:

Exotic issues with pdfs on smb shares - Macos

Hi all, Mac users report me that they get exotic error messages while opening pdf files on Truenas smb shares = unable to open ( preview and acrobat. ) or rename or copy. Windows users are able to open, rename, copy those files. I was able to reproduce and I really never saw such a poetic...

1.
Sometime if they wanna rename a folder a msg. appear which requires local admin priviliges, which absolutely makes no sense, never seen.

2.
Sometime if users create pdfs on a smb share and shortly after that they open and close it + try to move or copy it (differnt ways tried) they receive a msg. that it didn't work because the file is in use.

Any ideas?

Thx & Best

There is a bugfix that can impact certain configurations of SMB shares with MacOS that is going into U6 (fixes permissions issue with rename). Can't say for sure whether this is what you're seeing without a system debug.

I will send you my system debug via pm.
What about my second question ?

Depends on MacOS version, but sometimes finder (or adobe) can leave a handle open on a resource fork or some other stream. Per SMB protocol this should result in failure to rename, and so they should probably not do that.

Reported on Ventura, not yet on Sonoma....No idea if they fixed something related to smb ?
