Other Can't access my SMB share on my Macs.

[notabitail]

I have a variety of Macs, and I store useful files and whatnot that I need on a Samba server. I tried to access it from the Mac and I get an error. It says "The operation can't be completed because the original item for "ShareName" can't be found.

This happens on Mac OS X Panther all the way up to and including Mountain Lion.

I've tried restarting Finder and accessing it using the "connect to server" and using "cifs:/1.1.1..1" instead of "smb:/1.1.11.", but none of that seems to work.

Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT: SMB share is on OpenMediaVault 7.7.

Thanks.

You're trying to connect to the SMB share from your Mac. What system/OS is hosting the SMB share?

Linux, OpenMediaVault 7.7.

OpenMediaVault needs to be SMB v1. Ancient Mac OS X SMB clients are old as dirt. You can always try OpenMediaVault NFS… or install netatalk.

I do have it set to SMBv1.

What is netatalk?

Hmm, not sure what's wrong. Could you potentially use NFS instead of SMB? I think NFS is somewhat more stable anyway.

My other thought was you could try adding the following to /etc/nsmb.conf on your Mac (or create the file with this contents if it doesn't already exist):

[default]
signing_required=if_required

This is necessary for old OS X to connect to Windows 10/11 shared folders, so maybe OpenMediaVault needs it too? However, I actually don't understand what it does! (If anyone could explain it to me, I would appreciate it!)

I'll try that and see if it works. Thanks.
