smb 10.14.5

Since upgrading to 10.14.5 all of our shares are unstable. A few searches locks up the client computer and all others. The only solution is to restart the host. Moving files does the same. Originally thought this was an index issue, so we reverted to a 3rd party program to search the shares. Seems to help in the short run. So far what we have tried:

Re installing the update. - no help
Updating client to 10.14. - no help
defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores -bool TRUE on the client computer doing the searches. Seemed to help for a short time.

This has brought our network to a grinding halt.

We had smb only and have turned smb and afp back on.

Any suggestions would be great. Rolling back to 10.14.4 is complicated as you have to wipe the drive and I will lose all data since the update.

Thank you,

Debbie

you can try this

honestly I have rolled back to AFP for the users I support at my job and I'm washing my hands of SMB on mac, it's too limiting. If thats not an option then make sure you have one connection type communicating over your network. SMB and AFP do not behave over the same network as you may find.

try easy find in the apple store for a smb search app
