NAS Access in Catalina issues

@Fly_PetitPrince

The Synology NAS is connected by its IP-adress in Finder (GO - Connect to server).

The Time Machine share was dragged to the Finder left column.

I also implemented a Automount app (ConnectMeNow, it is in Dutch), but that does not seem to help very much. If Time Machine is launched, it opens the share directly.

After applying this, I have not had the horrible message above that the TM bundle is corrupted, for more than 1 week now. (always nice to see this in French also...., misere international, non?)

For the sake of reliability, TM is also making a backup on a local USB-drive.

Hope this will help you as well.

Cheers,

Martin

Thanks Martin. I had already done that. If I reboot, it works for a short while but my work around is still working and doing the job. In fact, I copied the mounted folders back to Finder and they still work but clicking on the NAS in finder still doesn't connect. I am OK with that and all my Surveillance and backups have continued to work. I think there may be a bug within Finder.

Final report... running a recursive diff of folders in the Mac file system via a Parallels VM against a Synology NAS. 319 GB (343,550,832,640 bytes). No differences reported so far. I believe that with a Parallels VM of Windows or Linux this is a valid test of backup of data to a NAS. No instability in Finder or the Mac at all, as Finder is not involved and the Mac apparently has not awareness of the VM connection to the NAS.

Not saying that I like it, but it is a workaround while we wait for Catalina to stabilize.

After 4 month and 3 major updates bug is still here. Not solved by 10.15.3.

Good job Apple!

same issue here.

Opened up a case at synology. They pointed me to apple and ask me to open a case at apple support.

the only way is to create a support case at apple.

Please all do this.

For me, this solution is working --> https://www.techarp.com/software/macos-catalina-nas-failure/

Does any of you encounter an error with this solution ???

macOs Catalina 10.15.6. Looks like it's finally fixed

Hello,

On my side, the latest update of Norton 360 (8.5.10) solved the problem, no more issue on recurrent Time Machine on my NAS Synology.

And also the latest update of Catalina solved the problem of access to the Synology.

UPDATE:

Fresh Reboot in Mac.

Reboot of Router.

Disalowed SMB1 on Synology.

Connected to NAS-Share with smb://<user>@<nasname>.local , selected 19 Files ( PDF, 1 JPEG ) on share. Dragged them down to local folder ... super.quick

switched on NAS to subfolder and back, selected same Files to pull down on local Folder ... FINDER HANGS.

So the guys need to FIX the networks and probably FINDER Behavior as well => "Finder doesn not react"

I go down to the cellar and reactivate my 16bit Computer now.

I am so much with you.

And to me it appears so much inacceptable ... i somewhere her did write the same, saying: my 4k Bugs MacBook Pro is Slower than my Old of 2006 running El Capitan.

Furtermore it not anymore a concept: MacBOOKs NEED Storage ... and this is a NAS.

As ths Issue is with many NAS, it is the same behaviour as if Bentley does not care if Tires and Wheels not anymore fit on their cars .. user Issue: You do not need to drive, you can sit inside and have it warm. More dependent is, we sell you a music stream running on your bentley audio installation

==> WRONG Attempt.

Should we create e.g. a Facebook side and Post that stuff and invite as many poeple around the world we know?

Often when I force quit, Finder will not completely quit, and/or won't restart properly. I wind up with no icons on my desktop, and Finder generally non-functional. I have to do a complete reboot to get everything working again.

exact and so this is not an option and also not a workaround.

As said, my Mac FIND the NAS but they lose performance with preview. Disabling the preview option makes it faster.

But still, something as per each access of NAS stored files makes it slower and slower

==> Preview is buggy ( QuickLookGui or so process hangs )

==> Network layer on Catalina is buggy

DEAR APPLE GUYS, I LEARNED, YOU CHECK THE BLOGS.

SO PLEASE BE SO KIND TO PICK THIS UP ... THIS IS A SYSTEMIC ISSUE.

PLS CHECK BLOG other than this AND YOU FIND EVIDENCE.

It is really an apple issue. I have installed windows 10 on my macbook using bootcamp and have no issues at all using my NAS on windows 10, but it’s unworkable in MacOS Catalina.

I wish Apple would recognize this issue and resolve it.
