CIFS is not an option as we are mainly a Linux/OSX house with only NFS. We’ve a few Windows machines but they are using NFS. Just to point out... OSX prefers SMB compared to NFS. It used to be the other way around, but OSX Finder has had issues with NFS for years. And Apple decided to go "all-in" with their SMB support. The result these days is although both function "ok", SMB functions better. :) That being said... I've not pushed it hard personally. ;) I just mount my FreeNAS server (which is sharing via CIFS) in OSX using: cifs://servername/sharename In OSX 10.9.5 it's a bit slow to mount (30-40 seconds). For OSX 10.10, it's very fast. Around 5 seconds normally. No idea if that's a helpful thought or not though. ;) Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift -- "My grandfather once told me that there are two kinds of people: those who work and those who take the credit.
