How do i enable vfs_fruit

i have been doing some research around why macOS finder is painfully slow listing files from the WD My Cloud.

ultimately i found an article here: macos - SMB share is very slow - Ask Different

where the solution suggested, that seems to stick and work is to modify samba.conf with the following:

vfs objects = fruit streams_xattr

has anyone done this on their WD My Cloud, and how would I go about doing it as well ?

Hi cs7404,

It seems that it could a network issue. It is recommended checking the data from the My Cloud drive using a Gigabit Ethernet wired connection. Please check this useful article.
