Slow performance with MacOS

Post by Blaxtar »

Since i bought a new Mac with High Sierra the performance on my shares decreased drastic using CIFS/SMB. Both browsing folders and the download-/uploadspeed is painfully slow. If i boot up the same Mac with Windows 10 i experience good performance. Any ideas where to start the troubleshooting? Running N4F 11.1.0.4, just let me know if you need more information to help me troubleshooting. Thanks in advance!

Try AFP? Always faster than CIFS/SMB for me from the Macs (but they're Sierra, not High Sierra).

I share the same (public) folders with *both* AFP and CIFS/SMB services on my home network, and it works well. I never established if this is recommended or not, but it seems to work OK - and is much faster for the Macs here.

Sorry for late answer, i didn't got any notification about your posts.
AFP is not an option for me because i have special settings in Samba for inherit permissions that, as far as i understand, is not possible to use with AFP.
I'll try the links and see if it solves my problems, thanks a lot!

This solved it for me:
https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/curren ... onf.5.html

==> client signing = disabled and server signing = disabled
Add these to parameters in CIFS/SAMBA settings on N4F server

And because this are changes on the server, this worked for me without any changes on the (Windows 10) client.
