SOLVED SMB share persisence with Mac client

[Jedge]

Hello there

I'm runinng lastest TrueNAs version (TrueNAS-12.0-U5.1) on an HP microserver Gen10, with pc et mac clients, so far so good.
I've just changed my wifi AP from Xiaomi to Ubiquity uap-ac-lr and now I have an smb share persistence issue on my mac's.
To recover the connexion to the nas share's I must stop and restart the smb service

I've read quite a lot of threads and modified the smb service as follow:
- Enable Apple SMB2/3 Protocol Extensions
- and add auxiliary parameters like so:

Code:

fruit:locking=none
fruit:metadata=netatalk
fruit:resource=file
streams_xattr:prefix=user.
streams_xattr:store_stream_type=no
oplocks=no
level2 oplocks=no
strict locking=auto
spotlight=yes

I've disconnected my share, reconnect with those new settings and same issue.
I still lose connexion to my shares after few hours.

Any idea please ? Thank you :)

I'm inclined to believe it's a problem with your wireless network. Does this behavior persist if you use a wired connection?

Hi, no only on wifi

You shouldn't need those aux parameters. Try checking the boxes for Apple-style data encoding, alternate data streams, and durable handles in the share definition, and Apple protocol extensions in the SMB service. Then restart the SMB service.

ok I'll give it a try, thanks :)

Remember to also clear out the aux parameters after checking those boxes.

On the Mac client side, remember to disable private IPs for your wireless network. On your wireless AP/router, check the DHCP lease isn't some insanely short duration, like 5 minutes. For your home network, you should use a long DHCP lease (e.g., 24 hours), so the Macs aren't presenting themselves to the server with a different IP every so often.

Back here, I've tried lot's of thing and finally managed to solve it.
With your advice I check one parameter I missed out in the SMB share option: Preset set to "No preset" and then use "
"Enable SMB2/3 Durable Handles"

I tried all the other possibilities and this last one is the way to go to keep the share's mounted on my mac !
Thank you for your intel, that put me on the right track to solve it :)
