Hey guys,

So I have a TrueNAS server the latest version at the time of this writing. And I'm wondering if I should turn on SMB multichannel. I know in the past SMB multichannel was "beta" and reading the SMB multichannel readme document would say something like "do not put into production".

I'm wondering if this has changed with the lastest and greatest version of TrueNAS? Obviously it would incredible if we could safely aggregate bandwidth on our client computers by adding more Ethernet lines.

Additionally, and I know this is a hard one, I was wondering if Mac OSX Catalina supports SMB multichannel? I know also, that in the past, SMB multichannel was only supported by Windows computers. Any news on that front that anyone has heard?

Thanks!

Check the samba documentation. Multi channel has nothing to do with truenas. I do think they still say there can be data corruption when using multi channel.
