@FRXDQ A very very belated welcome to the Rockstor community, and thanks for helping to support Rockstor’s development via a stable subscription.
To try and narrow down what’s happened here (nice report by the way) could you paste the output from the following commands:
yum info rockstor
and
yum update
It may be that you have a part-way update of the base CentOS system, we have seen this a number of times and it could be why you have such a strange Samba failure:
Unfortunately nothing else spring to mind. Have you made any manual additions to the smb.conf?
Are their any other forum members who have seen this particular failure, ie the same log entry as is reported by @FRXDQ.
It might be worth doing a general CentOS search on this issue as we do nothing more than control the smb.conf content. Our samba packages are essentially vanilla CentOS so they should work independently of the rockstor code anyway. Let us know how you get on and if you find any more pointers.
I think i find it. There are some active directory config in smb.conf prevent samba from starting. I think it’s from failed attemps to join the domain in web ui after install.
But i have a new problem, It can’t join domain. When click the status toggle after config active directory service i end up whith error.
Error Traceback provided on the Web-UI

i think "workgroup" set to \'WORKGROUP\'
part is obviously wrong but i can’t find the way to config it.
This is the same error i encounter after install. Which feels like some error in web ui, so i stop at that and do the update. But it still didn’t work.
