April 4, 201313 yr I was running 5.0-rc10a on a small hp desktop as well as running several simpleFeatures (v1.0.5) packages for stats. I was able to access the shares by both AFP (Time Machine) and by SMB (media folders) on various machines. After upgrading to 5.0-rc12a and installing new versions of simpleFeatures (v1.0.11) I can no longer access SMB shares from either my Mac or from my Linux box. I've done the following things without any success to fix the issue: Cleared OSX keychain. Rebooted Mac. Changed permissions on shares to be 'public'. Rebooted. Removed simpleFeatures 1.011, rebooted, installed simpleFeatures 1.0.5, rebooted. Removed simpleFeatures completely & rebooted Rolled back to 5.0-10a & rebooted Re-installed 5.0-rc12a & rebooted. In all cases I can still use the AFP/Time Machine to backup my Mac, but attempts to access smb shares all fail, even though I can see 'Tower2-SMB' listed when I browse the network. Is OSX I get a connection failed and a pop up telling me to contact my system administrator (see attached). Under Linux I get a 'Unable to mount location. Failed to retrieve share list from server' pop up (see attached). In both scenarios I do NOT get asked for credentials. Sys log on the Tower doesn't tell me anything... I occasionally get "Tower2 avahi-daemon[9078]: Invalid response packet from host 192.168.0.149." messages, but nothing I can tie back to my attempts to login to the shares. Hardware is an old HP desktop with 3 SATA HDD (1x2Tb parity, 1x1.5Tb & 1x500Gb for data), simple on-board graphics, 2Gb RAM, 10/100/1000 Network card. Any suggestions, ideas?
April 9, 201313 yr Author Ok, so a few additional issues started to pop up, the biggest being that I was unable to write to the flash disk when it was removed and put into an Ubuntu desktop. After wasting some time doing the checks against the disk file systems with reiserfsck --check /dev/md* and getting no errors, I realised that the issue was with the FLASH drive, not the disks..... Other posts suggested removing the flash drive and running checkdisk under Windows to fix errors. This I did... and suddenly after a reboot everything now works.
April 10, 201313 yr Remove simple features and see if the problem goes away. If it does I would post in the simple features thread so the developer knows of your issues
April 10, 201313 yr Author burtjr I'd tried running both with earlier versions of simpleFeatures and with it completely removed. The issue was caused by a file system error on the actual flash drive that I fixed by running Windows CheckDisk. Regards.
