The solution I found was to prevent the NAS from using SMB entirely and force it to use AFP.
#Qfinder for mac update
The OSX Catalina update has created issues with connecting via the SMB protocol. My suggestion - try AFP, and try a third party 10G adaptor from QNAP/Sonnet/Promise. You did not say exactly what computer you have, running 10.15.2. These days, when I see this issue on iMac Pro's, I use the QNAP QNA-T310G1T.
#Qfinder for mac driver
I would plug those in, and they would NEVER disconnect - even though it used the same Aquantia AQC-107 chip and driver native to the macOS operating system (since macOS 10.13.6). Sonnet had just released the Sonnet Solo 10G, which is a thunderbolt 3 to 10G adaptor. When the iMac Pro first came out, the 10G ports were constantly disconnecting. Apple will NEVER EVER EVER admit to a problem. Before QNAP, I was doing nothing but Mac Servers up until macOS 10.12.6. 99% of my clients are on Mac, and this random disconnect has been happening long before macOS 10.15.2.Īpple will never be any support to you. And it never happens with Win 10 computers. If anyone else has any ideas I'd be happy to try them.Īpple support were no help at all, had the guy on the end of the phone scratching his head and blaming QNAP, frankly I think they monkeyd with file system permissioning and it's messed something up. Whilst it's definitely something to do with the interaction between Catalina and QNAP, 3 other macs (1 High Sierra and 2 Mojave) all connect and hold their connection fine, I was wondering if anyone else here had come across a similar issue? The issue is in mounted drives, randomly during the day the QNAP will disconnect from the Mac, when a reconnect is tried it will not reconnect and needs a Forced Relaunch of Finder. Time Machine - works for the most part, occasionally I'll get a backup failed, but when retried the backup will succeed. Network Setup: All 4 ports teamed to a single IP address - Balance-alb (Adaptive Load Balancing)ĭisk bays Fully populated - WD Red disks. OS: MacOS Catalina (10.15.2) Although it's been happening with each iteration of Catalina
