MacOS Sierra + TS-251 AFP/SMB Problems

It's as if Apple has walked away from it...

They did, that's exactly what I meant in my previous post.
Found the official blurb:

Page 21 details the shift to SMB2.

Small update: Since upgrading to QTS 4.3, SMB so far works flawlessly. I can run the same VMs over SMB that previously only worked under AFP, connection time is near-instant. Seems pretty solid all round. So it seems there was something wonky in QTS 4.2

SMB has been rock solid for me since the fixes with the QNAP tech. Will wait to try out the AFP changes with the next major release of QTS though really, don't see why I would need to bother since SMB is where we're going (or many would say have already arrived) anyhow. Plus, the next major QTS release will support TimeMachine over SMB which was a major sticking point for many I understand (I use Chronosync instead).

What fixes did the tech do? I've been having issues with Mac OS playing nice with QNAP for a little while as well.

Happy to report after upgrading to High Sierra, the mount time issue is gone! Yup, back to instant mount as it was under Snow Leopard. Transfer rates under SMB3 are a sustained 107mb/s read/write.
