I’ve finally got tired of how bad the latency and transfer speeds are when mounting my TrueNas SMB shares on my macbook. I looked online for some solutions, but didn’t really have much success with them. I managed to get to this command that seems to be a lot better:
mount_smbfs -o soft,nobrowse "//<username>@<domain or ip>/apps" "$HOME/mnt/apps"
where /mnt/apps is a directory that I created for myself. In this case I’m mounting a share called “apps”. For now it actually seems to be pretty responsive and loads directories and files at an acceptable speed.


I don’t know if I did something wrong, but NFS only let me see one at the mounted root level. I couldn’t navigate the directory tree
You might have to patch your nfs config; the default one supplied by Apple is using an older protocol. Run this and reboot:
printf "\nnfs.client.mount.options = vers=4\n" | sudo tee -a "/etc/nfs.conf" &> /dev/nullthank you!
You’ll need to export each volume individually I would expect, are you saying you could only see one volume?
no, it was weird. I could only see the folder I set up for NFS. for example, on folder media, I could see the subdirectories of music, movies, etc, but not their contents. Then if i set up NFS on movies I could mount movies send then see it. It was really weird
