Server Version#: 1.41.0.8992-8463ad060 Having a very unusual situation that I hope someone can shed light on. Updated to MacOS 15. I know. I know. Wait. But I ran a test on another machine to make sure everything worked. And it did. So I updated my main Plex Mac. For a few hours all was fine. The…

Completely anecdotal here, since it seems the “fix” is all over the place. But these are my Synology settings, with the conf file being set the way it was provided, and mine has been working without issue since the conf file was provided… so about 4-5 months? [Screenshot 2025-05-27 at 11.55.49 AM…

[image] Plex Files Unavailable but they’re not missing Desktops & Laptops The two items that seem to work well in combination: AutoMounter: AutoMounter The full nsmb.conf file: macOS SMB Configuration to Prevent Directory Caching Issues · GitHub Hey this worked for …

I just tried this and although it didnt stop automounter from working like in the past, it still is not allowing my PLEX server to see over 300 movies. I also dont have a Enable SMB3 Directory leasing option to check in the advanced setting in synology.

My actual /etc/nsmb.conf: [default] signing_required=no streams=yes soft=yes dir_cache_off=no protocol_vers_map=6 port445=no_netbios notify_off=yes mc_prefer_wired=yes My Synology configuration: [Captura de pantalla 2025-05-30 a las 23.12.08] Without packet signing. For me is rock solid, 3078 m…

Any suggestions on how to fix this on my end? I will literally pay you to help me as a consultant. I’m barely staying above the water trying to and fix stuff like this.

Ok, i combined @plcn_1 fix as well as @Anyware and now its working… Automounter [Screenshot 2025-05-30 at 22.24.55] [Screenshot 2025-05-30 at 22.24.20]

After seeing these configuration screenshots, I gave it another try at my end, removed the tweaked nsmb.conf (once again) and enabled the SMB3 directory leasing option - and that seems to have solved the issue, here. Three days without anything moved to the trash (No AutoMounter). [image]

I confirm that: Empty nsmb.conf, and SMB3 directory leasing enabled seems to work fine! I use AutoMounter. I think MacOS 15.5 + SMB3 directory leasing resolved the issue.

[Screenshot 2025-06-01 at 16.55.20] Checked my Synology settings and I can also confirm that these settings work without nsmb.conf present. Been working fine for more than 2 weeks now. Automounter is in use.

I see a variety of recent recommendations in this thread that may or may not work for each user. As we’ve learned, it’s difficult to reproduce this issue reliably, especially given our varying hardware and software configurations. I’ve mentioned my “thrashing” script before, and it’s the same scrip…
