Samba is a handy open source and multi-platform utility that makes it easy for system and network administrators to easily setup, configure and use various systems and equipment. Helps you gain access to print and file services. Samba delivers file and print services for different Microsoft Windows.
We have file perm issues with our SAN. Basically our SAN doesnt like SMB 2 from our Macs, so we use SMB 1 (slower, but less corrupty..). We are moving away from this SAN shortly though.
Below are suggested parameters to use in smb.conf file of the Samba server to improve operability with Mac OS X clients. Note that some parameters may not work with your version of Samba - read the smb.conf and vfsfruit man pages (on Linux) for your system. Setting up Ubuntu and Windows Hosts. On Ubuntu, put your Ubuntu IP and hostname in the. Apple Mac OS X connect to SMB (samba/CIFS) share. Go Connect to Server. Smb://servername/sharename (in this case, acfiles is 10.1.16.112 currently). Mac OS X allows you to connect to different network shares using the Connect to Server utility. Although this tutorial covers SMB, it can be used for other protocols too. Before you begin, make sure you have your NetID login account details before attempting to connect!
I ensure this command is ran on all of our clients (either on the base image, deployment workflow or sent our via ARD terminal command)
sudo sh -c 'echo '[default]' >> /etc/nsmb.conf; echo 'smb_neg=smb2_only' >> /etc/nsmb.conf'

this forces SMB2 on the client
you can then view the share connection with this command:
smbutil statshares -a
which shows what flavour of SMB is being used. Best for mac os.
To remove the nsb.conf file and revert back to defaults, use this command :
Samba For Mac Os 10.10
rm /etc/nsmb.conf
Mac Smb Client
REBOOT FOR CHANGES TO TAKE EFFECT
