Apple CLI command to mount an SMB share that isn't abysmally slow (piefed.keyboardvagabond.com)

I’ve finally got tired of how bad the latency and transfer speeds are when mounting my TrueNas SMB shares on my macbook. I looked online for some solutions, but didn’t really have much success with them. I managed to get to this command that seems to be a lot better:
mount_smbfs -o soft,nobrowse "//<username>@<domain or ip>/apps" "$HOME/mnt/apps"
where /mnt/apps is a directory that I created for myself. In this case I’m mounting a share called “apps”. For now it actually seems to be pretty responsive and loads directories and files at an acceptable speed.

Can you export the share as SMB and NFS at the same time? It'll probably be faster mounted with NFS

    I don't know if I did something wrong, but NFS only let me see one at the mounted root level. I couldn't navigate the directory tree

    You'll need to export each volume individually I would expect, are you saying you could only see one volume?
