Never really used network drives on OS X, but I just got a cheap flash drive and set up Samba on the router to share files on the local network.
First test copy of a file stalled during the process, then stalled when I tried to abort (the Finder has never been good at that regardless). Unmounted, then remounted, and it went smoothly.
Just trying to figure out if it's the 10.11 Finder being flakey, something with the router, or both. It's an ASUS router, with an Ext2 drive, which is supposedly the favored format.
IIRC, at some point, Apple abandoned the commonly used, perfectly functional framework, and tried to roll their own, to poor reviews. But that was a while ago, so things should be working properly now, at least?
