[SOLVED] Oracle Linux 7.3 + Samba + Mac OS X client bad performance

Hi,
I have Oracle Linux Server 7.3 and Samba 4.4.4 installed.
The problem is when a Mac OS X 10.10.5 client try to access the shared files, it has a bad performance and after a couple or minutes the shared files appears.

If the client that try to access is windows, the performance is ok, but if the client that try to access is OS X then the performance is bad.

Thanks in advance.

SOLVED!!

To resolve that issue, Apple extended SMB to allow for faster metadata retrieval enabling vfs_fruit module:
ea support = yes
vfs objects = catia fruit streams_xattr
fruit:resource = file
fruit:metadata = netatalk
fruit:locking = none
fruit:encoding = native

Now it's going as fast as a rocket!
