Beyond Leap 15.6: will Rockstor use Leap 16, MicroOS, Slowroll

I just had some troubles with SMB, which still tried to use an AppArmor helper script:

$ sudo systemctl --failed 
  UNIT        LOAD   ACTIVE SUB    DESCRIPTION     
● smb.service loaded failed failed Samba SMB Daemon

Legend: LOAD   → Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded.
        ACTIVE → The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB.
        SUB    → The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type.

1 loaded units listed.

Heading over to the Rockstor webUI, the “SMB” service was disabled. Simply enabling it did fix it, and after another reboot, even the service was fine:

$ sudo systemctl --failed 
  UNIT LOAD ACTIVE SUB DESCRIPTION

0 loaded units listed.

So maybe another thing to consider regarding the migration - but it is working for me now as expected
