Hi guys,

 

My samba does not want to come online.

I tried upgrading from RC5 to RC8a to see if that would fix the issue but to no avail.

 

This is the output from the log

 

"Sep 29 14:43:55 NAS logger: Starting Samba:  /usr/sbin/nmbd -D

Sep 29 14:43:55 NAS kernel: fat_get_cluster: 6 callbacks suppressed

Let me know if there is anything more that you need.

 

 

 

 

Run check disk on the flash drive in a PC or Mac.

I would agree on that based on these log entries:

 

Sep 29 14:43:55 NAS kernel: fat_get_cluster: 6 callbacks suppressed
Sep 29 14:43:55 NAS kernel: FAT-fs (sda1): error, fat_get_cluster: invalid cluster chain (i_pos 262292)

Thanks for the reply.

 

That worked.

 

Look like my flash disk is on its way out.......

Now to try get a new one re licensed.
