Linux SMB share and Self Service HTTP, Downloading, But not Installing...

(Posted this in another related thread, but perhaps it needs its own thread).

After some time, I have this working, meaning I am finally able to successfully mount the "CasperShare" volume from macOS in "connect to server", on this Linux server (vmware) / CentOS (although moving to RedHat for prod).

And I am able to drag / download a 2 GB file in under a minute.

The Linux vm is on fast (enterprise backend) hardware, with a Gig E connection....

Now the real issue is in Self Service, it is slow and never gets to "Installing" in Self Service, using "use HTTP downloads"

As you are probably well aware, there is still as of yet, no easy way to "Enable / Disable" a File Share / DP in the JSS, short of inputting in "incorrect" server name or IP address, thus making the DP unreachable.

I am then making the this PROD DP (a Mac Mini, macOS 10.12.3), failover to this new Linux server / DP.

Downloading Adobe After Effects (2 GB) pkg, and as with HTTP you will see Downloading, then Installing.

Never gets to Installing.... Any ideas on what is going on?

Thx in advance....

Have you checked the logs to see if the download actually finished. We have similar setup but using RHEL 7 as servers, are the clients desktops or laptops?

If laptops is wireless and ethernet connected at the same time, we see network state changes which interrupts the download of the file by http.
