Unable to start samba service

Support
1

I updated my system to 3.9.2-51 and after that I’m unable to start the samba service. Here is the error I get when I try to start the service. Any help would be appreciated.

  Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/rockstor/src/rockstor/smart_manager/views/samba_service.py", line 113, in post
    systemctl('nmb', command)
  File "/opt/rockstor/src/rockstor/system/services.py", line 65, in systemctl
    return run_command([SYSTEMCTL_BIN, switch, service_name], log=True)
  File "/opt/rockstor/src/rockstor/system/osi.py", line 120, in run_command
    raise CommandException(cmd, out, err, rc)
CommandException: Error running a command. cmd = /usr/bin/systemctl start nmb. rc = 1. stdout = ['']. stderr = ['Job for nmb.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status nmb.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.', '']

Here is the systemd logs

Hello @SatishI

It would probably help if you ran the commands in the exception message and provide their output.

@vesper1978. I have posted the logs.

Thanks @vesper1978 for recommending the logs, they do indeed point to the problem:

After a quick search on the forum, I would recommend the following thread and the post below in particular:

It does look like an error may have occurred during the update of the samba package (there have been quite a lot of them lately from upstream). I would thus try to follow @phillxnet’s suggestions in the post linked above and it should help move things further.

Hope this helps, and let us know how it goes.
