4.1 AFP shares won't mount in 10.9.4

[mjknowle]

AFP shares on a TS-419PII running 4.1.0 firmware won't mount on Macs running 10.9.4. You can browse for a share, log in, but once you do...spinning beach ball with eventual failure. One can still mount the shares via SMB, but that's not nearly as fast.

Anyone else experiencing this? Suggestions for fixes?

I'm having exactly the same problem. MacBook Pro running OS X 10.9.4 with a TS-419P running 4.1.0 0612.

I have tried re-installing the firmware (using the manual procedure via SSH), turning afp off then on, rebooting both the NAS and my Mac but with no luck.

This also seems to be impacting the Time Machine functionality - having tried to make a fresh connection I got an 'Operation could not be completed (OSStatus error 2.)' error after a lot of time thinking about it. The NAS shows up in terms of service discovery of AFP file sharing and Time Machine. While I can use SMB for file sharing, that doesn't help with Time Machine.

Any suggestions for things to try? Is anyone else seeing this too?

Let's check bottom-up:

- AFP processes running?

[~] # ps -ef | grep afp
525 admin 488 S grep afp
13182 admin 1952 S /usr/local/sbin/cnid_metad -F /etc/afp.conf
13208 admin 2956 S /usr/local/sbin/afpd -F /etc/afp.conf -p /var/afpd3.pid

- version in place

- network configuration - have two indiviual networks configured into the same Ethernet broadcast domain and TCP/IP subnetwork?

[~] # ifconfig

Post all output please.

Same problem with (2) NAS' and 10.9.4

On my TS-259, I went back to 4.0.7 to regain AFP service.

On my TS-219P+, it's only used for TimeMachine, which is working properly, yet AFP file access is not. FWIW, the syslog is showing 'Login OK' from AFP clients.

For what it's worth, I have 10.9.4 as well as QNAP 4.1.0 Build 0612 and my Time Machine backups are completing OK (it uses AFP under the covers). I haven't tried browsing via AFP yet.

[schumaku]

Curious of all the users with similar issues (aside: Time Machine makes use of AFP for sparse file access, too..) are not making use of Advanced Folder Permissions (ACL support) enabled? dotdun's NAS doesn't (config shows: acls = no) for example.

[Dotdun]

FWIW, acls=no is current on the 4.0.7 on my TS-259 and AFP is working.

[nettdata]

Just to add one more to the list, I updated my TS-859 Pro+ to firmware version 4.1.0 yesterday, and since then I'm having problems connecting to the remote shares via AFP from 10.9.4 clients.

SMB sharing works fine from all of those client machines, AFP give beach ball of death and fails out.

[nettdata]

FIXED (for me, anyway)

Followed these instructions: http://wiki.qnap.com/wiki/How_to_remove ... problem%3F

Basically, I ssh'd into the QNAP, cd to the shared volume, and then removed the .AppleDB directory from within that share.

Upon next connection from the OSX client, it asked for authentication credentials, but then quickly mounted that share.
