Every now and then all my windows 10 machines on my network lose connectivity to the SMB shares. Every time I try to access any of the shares I get the same error message: "The local device name is already in use." The only way I seem to be able to resolve this issue temporarily is to restart my TrueNAS box. Restarting any of the Windows clients does not resolve the issue. Does anyone have idea how to begin debugging or resolving this issue?

Anyone ever come up with a reason behind this one? I woke up this morning to find that none of my shares were accessible on any of my PC's, and the error is the same as nadino stated above. Sadly in my case, I have restarted smb, and even restarted the server, and still the same issue. My iSCSI and NFS is fine, but SMB is just not working, but everything seems to be running.
Any help of suggestions on how to resolve this would be really helpful..

As a follow-up, after playing around with the NAS for a bit, I went into Network -> Global, and turned off WS Discovery, and then turned it back on, and now I can access the shares. Very weird, as it's been working fine, and just out of the blue I get up one morning and it's not working..
