Troubleshooting

Hello. I will be short. I have this issue:

Apr 23 12:06:17 rockstor systemd[1]: smb.service failed.

I tried restarting, reinstalling, updating, and the problem is still there. The most annoying thing is that those files are where it’s saying that they are not there (maybe the error is because the version, IDK). And I don’t know what to do.

I hit this issue when trying to change my NFS sharings to SMB because I am having speed issues and I wanted to try if changing protocol could help. My speeds are now around 1 Mbps and is pretty disgusting. And I have now my WD DX4000 (maybe WD stands for Worst Devices) plugged straight to a 100 Mbps switch and my PC too to the same switch.

Can anyone help me?

Thank you, have a good files sharing.

Here is the traceback Rockstor gives when trying to turn it on.

@leondante Hello again.

This looks very much like an upstream updates issue we have seen a number of times and revolves around a major update that took place upstream that changed samba major versions and occasionally ends up with the new version half installed with a broken nmbd element:

Take a look at the following forum thread:

where @Haioken resolved something that looks to be the same as your are experiencing:

Also it may be helpful to paste the output of the suggested command in that error message.

See how you get on with that thread

Hope that helps.
