Hi @bmcgonag,
3.9.1-0 is now a very old version and we have made substantial improvements and bug fixes since, including related to the Samba implementation. That includes a bug related to the detection of the Samba service status and its configuration. From your original post, it seems the Samba share still “works” and that you’re able to connect to it from your client and do what you need, so it would fit with the improvements I mentioned above related to the detection of the Samba service status. It would thus mean that what you are seeing is only “cosmetic”.
If you are willing to try, I would recommend you to try out Rockstor 4 using our instructions to create your own installer as you would benefit from a much more recent codebase and Btrfs stack:
Sorry for not being of better help here, but I hope it still helps.
