MacOS and SMB unmounting issues, work around

[macjosch]

Mounted SMB-volumes are ejected/unmounted maybe once or twice a day. Remounting is not possible (DS as server is found, but no shared volumes are available).

Solution: Open your DSM GUI and check the "Connected Users" panel. Click on the (-) next to the SMB service. Now mounting shared volumes is possible again.

For those who are familiar with Apple Script, I came up with the following script so you don't have to mess with the DSM GUI. SSH must be enabled in DSM.

tell application "Terminal"
    activate
    set ServerAddress to "YOUR-NAS-IP-ADDRESS"
    set ServerUserName to "YOUR-USERNAME"
    set ServerPassword to "YOUR-PASSWORD"

    set currentTab to do script ("ssh " & ServerUserName & "@" & ServerAddress & ";")

    delay 1
    do script (ServerPassword) in currentTab

# Line breaks are important!
    tell application "System Events" to keystroke "sudo synosystemctl restart pkg-synosamba-smbd.service\r" using {}

    delay 1

    tell application "System Events" to keystroke ServerPassword & "\r"
    
delay 2

    tell application "System Events" to keystroke "exit" & "\r"

end tell

try
   do shell script "killall Terminal"
end try

# Add your volumes here, music given as example

mount volume "smb://" & ServerUserName & "@" & ServerAddress & "/" & "music"
