Ventura crashing on SMB access to Synology
I've been using a Synology NAS (DS1621+) for years to store all large files, and access them from my Mac Mini M1 via SMB (Mac Mini i7 before that).
Since upgrading to Ventura I've had issues affecting my daily use:
- I run Python programs fixing tags and moving files in my FLAC music library. Those programs suddenly got stuck after working on a number of files, pulling the MacOS network stack down with them (no more SMB share access, Chrome shows 'no buffer space' and does not connect to the internet.
- Today I wanted to import a folder with a couple hundred RAW images from an SMB share into a new Lightroom catalog. After about 200 images, the Mini got stuck and eventually rebooted.
I've worked around the music issue for a while, but the image import issue is a showstopper.
Anybody else with SMB issues? DSM on the Synology is current.
