Q: SMB share beachball
We have a Network share that everyone in the office accesses. The windows clients have no issues connecting or accessing the data on the NAS. The mac clients on the other hand are get constant pinwheeling when accessing the smb share.
We've tried using CIFS instead of smb, unbinding from the Active directory domain, and using local users with no change. During the beach balling the opendirectoryd process ramps up to 100% cpu usage and this error occurs:

I can't find much information on the "exhausted transient IDs" message. It's gotten to the point that if the share is mounted finder will beachball even I'm opening a local folder.
