Finder hangs up on Samba Shares

Hello guys,

I could nearly freak out.

I have installed SuSE as a VM for web development purposes. There is a Samba Server running on this VM. I could easily connect and edit files back on Mavericks. But right after the update to OS X Yosemite it's been the **** on earth.

Whenever I connect and try to edit files, Finder just starts hanging and the connection gets lost again. Finder hangs for about 2 min.

Does anyone know how to solve this?

Any help appreciated

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10)

So I figured out what the problem was:

Insert a unix extensions = no in the global header of smb.conf

Seems like Mac can't deal with those extensions.

I already have unix extensions turned off, but I still get lockups due to Samba shares hanging, sometimes bringing the computer to the point where I need to do a hard reboot 😟 Mavericks didn't have these problems.

"Try connecting to the drive with CIFS:\ instead of SMB:\. I have had the same issue and when trying it with the CIFS protocol it worked."
