macOS - Finder - Enter your password to allow this

I had similar issues ... it had to do with samba configuration (for the server and the shares).because samba is focussing on Windows/Linux ...

If you could paste your configuration (two screenshots, one from the server, one from a share) on omv-side I would compare with my working config and tell you the differences.

In general there are some "fruit-parameters" which have to be set in the "extended options" box for macOS.

Or you search in this forum for macOS and SMB configuration. You shoud find some threads.

Have a look at this post!

First thing, don't use ACL's for permissions unless you really need them and know how to set them up. Use regular linux permissions.

Read this before using ACLs!

While Access Control Lists (ACLs) can be useful in certain scenarios, there are also reasons why you might choose not to use them in openmediavault (OMV). Here are some considerations:

1. Simplicity:
   • Using traditional Unix permissions (chmod and chown) is simpler and may be sufficient for many use cases. If your file and folder access requirements can be adequately managed with basic permissions, introducing ACLs might add unnecessary complexity.
2. Compatibility:
   • Some applications or services may not

Second, Apple has their own spin on samba.

Read this for some info on setting the environment variables to help with mac (these option are automatically set if timemachine is enabled).

openmediavault 6: Optimize SMB for macOS – LisaNet

In the extra options of the samba server and the share, I use these additional options also to help with some speed issues and to "dumb things down" even more to

Server

client min protocol = NT1

client plaintext auth = yes

dead time = 15

getwd cache = yes

local master = yes

max xmit = 65535

min receivefile size = 16384

ntlm auth=yes

null passwords = yes

preferred master = yes

read raw = yes

server min protocol = NT1

socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_RCVBUF=65536 SO_SNDBUF=65536

write cache size = 524288

write raw = yes

On the share these settings open up permissions more and force file creations to use the given permissions and user (edit as needed)

Share

create mask = 6777

directory mask = 6777

force create mode = 6777

force directory mode = 6777

force user = (set to name of user that will own the files)

force group = users

These settings do not completely get rid of mac quirks, but they help a lot.

In addition I defined in "Extra Options" for

Server:

fruit:metadata = stream

fruit:nfs_aces = yes

fruit:copyfile = no

fruit:locking = none

fruit:encoding = private

fruit:resource = xattr

For each Share:

vfs objects = catia fruit streams_xattr

Setting those options with the environment variable doesn't require entering them in each share because they are enabled by default.
