Can't reach SMB server on MacOS

Some hints:

- don't use ACLs - just posix permissions

- I use SMB Server & Share config w/o inheriting anything but w some extended options - and its working perfect (at least on omv6)

- search for "fruit" parameters and macOS access through smb in this forum

hmmm - sorry, but I'm not expert enough to help further.

I just can say that I saw your error message too when leaving out the parameter

fruit:nfs_aces = yes

for the smb-server

and

vfs objects = catia fruit streams_xattr
fruit:encoding = private
fruit:metadata = stream
fruit:resource = xattr

for each smb-share.

I'm connecting omv-shares via smb from macOS Sonoma w/o any problems.

The ip-address you checked? Same network?

Hi Benhamin,

I have exactly the same problem. I thought that it might be something I was overlooking until I saw your post. Everything was working fine on OMV6. I am now running OMV7 on a RPi5 and cannot see my shares on my network on my Mac (not checked on a Windows PC yet, but will do). Everything else appears to be working fine though.

If you find a solution let me know and I'll do likewise.

I set up an OMV 7 system for my buddy and have no problems connecting to samba shares from his mac running sonoma. When I get home I will remote into his system (yes he lets me have vpn access to his system) and gather the samba settings I am using and post back here.

Just by way of update - the shares do show up on a windows pc. Don’t know why they are no longer showing up on Mac.

Here are the setting I am using. The server min protocol can be adjusted as required. I used NT1 for maximum OS compatability in case he tries to connect with any other OS. I also set the masks in the share extra options for maximum compatability, but this can be tailired to your like. Some of these settings are also in the OMV environment variables, but these should override those settings. I have not done a comparison on the environment variables to remove duplication ot to adjust them so some of these can be removed. Feel free to do that yourself if you wish.

Inherit permissions

Further update - the shares DO show up on a windows device!

Windows and Mac handle samba differently. Some of those lines in the extra options sections allow for handling the way Mac does it. Others are designed to increase buffers and such to try to improve performance, as Mac samba is rather slow compared to Windows and Linux
