MacOS – Can’t connect to SMB share after Sierra upgrade

I've been using TuxeraNTFS for a number of years now to give my Apple computers the ability to read NTFS drives, namely, my bootcamp partition. Tuxera recently updated their software to support Mavericks and it has been running fine on my iMac and on my Macbook Pro. However, I've never had to connect to an SMB share using this software so I can't say for certain that it will work in that fashion, but it may be worth investigating if it resolves your issue.

The software isn't free unfortunately, but it is cheap, currently only $31.

1. Setup your NAS to export a NFS-share. Refer to the Synology knowledgebase how to do this or use the following how-to to set it up, fine tune and secure your set-up.

   You may do it manually in the command line also:
   Let's assume your media folder is /Shares/Media. Create or edit a file named exports in /etc. The example below restricts the access to computers with an IP address in the range 192.168.0.1 - 192.168.0.254. You may have to restart your NAS or at least nfsd (nfs-daemon).

   Linux/NAS file /etc/exports:

   /Shares/Media 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(rw)
   

   if you use a Mac Server use this line:

   /Shares/Media -network 192.168.0.0 -mask 255.255.255.0
   

2. Edit /etc/auto_master on your Mac and add the line:

   /-                                  auto_media
   

   file /etc/auto_master:

   #
   # Automounter master map
   #
   +auto_master                        # Use directory service
   /-                                  auto_media
   /net                                -hosts      -nobrowse,hidefromfinder,nosuid
   /home                               auto_home   -nobrowse,hidefromfinder
   /Network/Servers                    -fstab
   /-                                  -static
   

3. and create a new file auto_media in /etc on your Mac

   file /etc/auto_media:

   /Media         IP-NAS:/Shares/Media
   

4. Please don't forget: all files mentioned above need a trailing empty line

5. enter sudo automount -vc in Terminal on your Mac with the output:

   $ sudo automount -vc
   automount: /Media updated  
   automount: /net updated  
   automount: /home updated  
   automount: no unmounts  
   

/Media will now always be visible in the root folder of your Mac and accessible for both of you as long as the NAS is up & running. No Apple Script to mount it nor a Connect to Server needed.

(Set up and tested on a Server 10.7 (no Synology NAS, because i don't own one, but it shouldn't make a difference) and Client 10.9)
