Since moving to Mavericks, I seem unable to maintain a setup where my MacBook automatically logs into my NAS when I reboot or login from a logged out state. Before I simply had the details in my keychain and each and every time I logged in my device connected.

Since the SMB2 facility has been fixed, I have turned off MacBook file handling on my Synology NAS as SMB2 is quicker than AFP so it seems pointless having Mac File handling on and when it was on it would not connect via SMB 2.

All this is confusing me, anyone give me some pointers please??
 
An old way around it would be to add the connection to startup items so it would establish it straight away, but I believe Mavericks is still having NAS SMB share issues, which is annoying as I've just set my NAS up :p

For the most part its fine, but my iMac never gets switched off so I rarely encounter the problem.
 
I bought a Synology DS412+ and its fantastic. However it doesnt play nice with OS X. Or rather, OS X doesn't play nice with Network attached Storage devices. Unless the device is driectly attached to the system (Firewire, USB, Thunderbolt) OS X refuses to search (Need to force an index to be built but this is dumped every dismount) and you can't use Tags (as a by product of poor indexing facilities)

So enjoy your NAS! :(

Hopes Apple really does address NAS issues as they continue to push towards external storage within their line up they have to fix this. Not everything can be done via Thunderbolt!
 
I have the DS410j and have had it for 5 years now or so. It doesn't play well with OSX but SMB 2 works better and I have Drive Mounter from App store which solves my problems above.
 
Hmm interesting, will switch to SMB2 and try that app. If it doesn't work I hold you solely responsible. :p
