The only thing I have struggled with so far after a clean install of Tumbleweed and Rockstor today is that the default systemd smb.service file in Tumbleweed is broken.
Trying to start Samba with systemctl start smb.service I was getting:
Feb 11 00:30:41 rockstor systemd[1]: Starting Samba SMB Daemon…
Feb 11 00:30:41 rockstor smbd[5602]: [2020/02/11 00:30:41.674112, 0] …/…/lib/util/become_daemon.c:135(daemon_ready)
Feb 11 00:30:41 rockstor smbd[5602]: daemon_ready: daemon ‘smbd’ finished starting up and ready to serve connections
Feb 11 00:30:41 rockstor systemd[1]: smb.service: Failed with result ‘protocol’.
Feb 11 00:30:41 rockstor systemd[1]: Failed to start Samba SMB Daemon.
The smb service logs indicated no problem:

smbd version 4.11.5-git.114.5685848b8fcSUSE-oS15.5-x86_64 started.

daemon_ready: daemon ‘smbd’ finished starting up and ready to serve connections
After much wailing and gnashing of teeth it turns out the fix is to update a line in the following file
/etc/systemd/system/smb.service
Change the line:
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/smbd $SMBDOPTIONS
To:
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/smbd --foreground --no-process-group $SMBDOPTIONS
Then run:
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl status smb.service
And all (so far) is right with the world.
