Yes, updating is an option. But also I thought that the issue about "resetting" on newer OSX may be linked to the 10.4. Maybe some trimming on the CIFS side? Gabriele Bulfon - Sonicle S.r.l.

Is it possible to update the client systems to a newer version of OS X? 10.4 is not quite ten years old, so its kind of long in the tooth. It hasn?t got a security update since 2009. (If you?re running on a powerpc mac, 10.5 should be an option, but I have no idea how you?d go about getting it. Notably 10.7 is the oldest MacOS release that still has support from Apple.) -- Garrett D'Amore Sent with Airmail On March 4, 2014 at 8:00:23 AM, Gabriele Bulfon ( [email protected] ) wrote: Hi, I hope someonealready encountered this problem already, and maybe there is sometrimming I can do on theserver side. I have asituation with windows clients, a primary domain controller, anillumos based zfs storage with cifs sharingjoined on the domain. Everything worksfine, for months. Then there aresome OSX clients, opening the cifs shares via smb urls on thefinder. The more recentOSX clients can open these urls and work, but sometimes theyexperience some kind of"reset" while going down deep the folders tree, and finder goesback to the root of the share. One particularclient, stopped mapping these urls few days ago, forever trying toconnect without luck, causingmount_smbfs timeouts. This is the only OSX 10.4. Though,connection with smbclient works. I found a lot ofdocumentations about problems of OSX 10.4, mounting smb, usuallyresolved changing mechs onthe smb server, or keychain on the client, or nmbd not running onthe server or what. I also found someone talking about a Solaris 10 server wherethey had to change some parameter keepalive=255, solving osx connectionproblems. But this is aCIFS/ZFS server, not just a samba server. After trying everything on the client, I gave up, taking mytime to think what I can do on the server. Anyone has suggestions? Gabriele. illumos-discuss | Archives | Modify Your Subscription
