The Operating System of these “computers” does not need to be relevant.

The “different computer” can be another computer, a NAS ( Network Attached Storage – like from QNAP, Synology, Western Digital, Seagate, etc.), or even a full size server. Note: this is most certainly not the most complete, technical or most correct description, but for most regular users this will suffice. So, let’s start by explaining what “ mounting network shares” means.Īttaching a directory located on a different computer, shared over a network, to your computer as if it was a local disk drive. Mounting Network Shares with ConnectMeNow

In Finder, a server doesn’t always appear right away, we need to go through a list of shares on a given “server”, get confused if we need SMB, CIFS, FTP, SSH, WebDAV, NFS or AFP, and I’m not even mentioning the need to enter a username and password on protected shares.įor this reason I created ConnectMeNow – initially just for personal use.īut the arrival of the 64 bit requirement, mandatory signed applications, and notarization requirements, and Catalina issues, my original old version was simply outdated. Unfortunately, it is still cumbersome under macOS X to connect to those “ shares” (also known as mounted network “ Volumes“). We have network shares on our computers, want to access company network shares, or have a dedicated file server or NAS ( Network Attached Storage) to store our information or make our backups. We are more network connected than ever before – at home, in school and at work. In this day and age a little weird to still see this, especially from a company like Apple. Confirm, that the lock has NOT been released.Ĭan anyone else confirm this behaviour on OS X 10.13.1?Ĭan anyone else confirm that this is NOT behaviour on versions of OS X older than 10.13.MacOS is great – I really like it a lot – but one thing it doesn’t handle all that great is … network shares.

Confirm there is a lock on the file on the fileserver.Ħ: Close the Preview application viewing the pdf file. Confirm that the lock has been released on the Samba server (smbstatus -locks").ĥ: Open the pdf from the Samba server with the default Preview application. Confirm there is a lock on the Samba server with "smbstatus -locks".Ĥ: Close the application (not Preview) with the PDF file open. Open it with something other than Preview (The default). So, the real problem, is the Finder's lack of response to the user, but locks not getting released, makes the problem much worse.ġ: Disable all preview functionality in the Finder.Ģ: Browse to a PDF on you Samba fileserver.ģ.
Often none of the user's data actually gets uploaded to the server (But they think it has been). To the users, it looks like the operation was completed, but it was not. If there are any locks on files/folders below the top folder, the request can not be completed, and the Finder (OS X) does not inform the user. Some users have a workflow, were they overwrite entire folder structures on the Samba server. This appears to be new behaviour to OS X 10.13.1. I think I have made sense of it: In OS X 10.13.1 the Preview application & preview functionality in the Finder, does not release locks (DENY_NONE) on files it has previewed from a (Samba) file server.
