I would settle for fixing the bug where I have to restart Finder to rebuild the connection every time my NAS drive spins down. Also the combination of screensharing to a headless MacMini and then AirPlaying to an Apple TV produces some fairly loathsome results.

Oh that's a Finder bug? I was blaming Synology but I'm basing that on nothing.

  Huh. I suppose it could be Synology? Either way it's hella annoying.

    I think this is on Synology issue, my Samsung TV routinely loses the NAS drive while streaming media. Not constantly but randomly once or twice a day; I have to power my TV off/on to get it to see the drive again. Meanwhile the same NAS connect to my Macbook Air, iPads and iPhones (for the kids) never drops the NAS.

      I used to have a "once or twice a day things the internet suddenly gets really flaky from certain hosts" problem. It turns out it was my router, somehow being so crap at DHCP lease renewal that it was wedging the hosts connected to it. Since I was already using a bunch of Apple stuff, I put my router/gateway in bridge mode and plopped an AirPort Extreme behind it, and the problems went away. Though, given the particular devices you list, the problem might actually be support vs. lack thereof for 802.1q (media QoS). Apple hardware supports it at all price levels; every other vendor seems to see it as an enterprise feature (for e.g. VoIP softphone VLANs) and doesn't bother including support for it in their consumer chipsets.

  Nah, happens with my AirPort Extreme mounts as well

How about the bug where you need to force quit coreaudiod to restore sound to the speakers after resuming from sleep?

  How about the computer randomly going back to sleep 2 min after opening. Happens on 3x MacBooks. Force restart.

  Funny I have the opposite. I often need to induce a sleep/wake cycle to restore detection of external speakers. Killing coreaudiod does not fix it, but a restart or (I recently learned) sleep/wake does.

    Plugging headphones in and taking them out again also seems to fix it sometimes, but I don't always have a pair of headphones by my desk.
    - stephenr 10y ago
      Yeah so my issue is pretty much opposite of yours it seems. If I have headphones/speakers plugged in, and unplug them (usually to swap from headphones to speakers, or vice-versa), often after I unplug, it won't recognise that I plug something back in. I used to think this happened when some perhaps-not-so-diligent audio using apps were open (I'm looking at you Skype) but it seems to happen more and more. Then again I'm already on my 3rd logic board for this MBP (both times replaced because of dedicated GPU failure), which is the 2nd MBP I've had that's had that same problem fixed twice.

It's a pain but autofs can help: http://blog.grapii.com/2015/06/keep-network-drives-mounted-on-mac-os-x-using-autofs/ http://blog.grapii.com/2015/06/keep-network-drives-mounted-o...

  Oh nifty. Thanks!

What nas / fs are you using? My mac really doesn't like being slept with a nas file share mounted; stuff regularly gets corrupted. Or if the wifi glitches. Thanks!

How are you connected to the NAS drive? If it has the option, making it an iSCSI target and installing an iSCSI initiator works wonders compared to most network file-system setups.
- izacus 10y ago
  Does that require the nas to be formated to compatible FS? Does it still freeze and hang Finder regularly after you move away from the network where the NAS is available?
