can't access smb shares after 10.9.5 upgrade

After the upgrade to 10.9.5 (from 10.9.4) I can not anymore access my smb shares on a NAS server (Thecus N3200PRO) dispite the upgrade says that it "improves the reliability of accessing files located on an SMB server". It had the exact opposite effect with my system.

The NAS server is visible, but after I log in no files or folders are shown (finder window is empy). Also to disconnect the smb share it takes much longer than usual.

To access it with cifs protocol does not help, neither.

Also the workaround by Reinfire (Michael Larson in Can't connect to SMB share after upgrade, to use smb1 instead of the upgrade) does not help at all.

Any solution out there?

-- thanks

Found solution by myself:

Turn off the Jumbo frames.

It seems that apple decided not to support Jubo frames anymore with their implementation of smb.

hi there,

just a wild guess, but have you tried to connect via Terminal?

/sbin/mount_smbfs //userid:password@ip-of-server/name-of-share

or

/sbin/mount_smbfs //userid:password@dns_name-of-server/name-of-share

You need to have administrative privileges on your Mac to execute said command successfully.

For additional information you can enter (while in Terminal):

man mount_smbfs

and

man nsmb.conf

Glad to hear the problem is solved 🙂
