Hi all,
Performance when accessing netapp CIFS shares from a Mac is frustrating, and in some cases downright unusable.
It seems mostly related to OS X's desire to index everything with Spotlight. Directory listings are slow, and if you're any way distant from the netapp, you'll find latency makes it completely unusable.
Have any of you found how to deal with this?
Thanks, Ryan
What sort of issues are you encountering? We do CIFS shares to Macs here and haven't had complaints. Still 7-mode. Don't believe we have any fancy settings (SMBv2 enabled, larger TCP window size, etc.)
