xxredxpandaxx Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 saw that another person on here had this problem after updating to beta 15 but I can't seem to fix it, any thoughts? Quote Link to comment
xxredxpandaxx Posted May 2, 2015 Author Share Posted May 2, 2015 well it is something in my configs folder, I reformated and beta 15 boots fine on its own but when i copy over my configs folder i get the smbd thing. Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 well it is something in my configs folder, I reformated and beta 15 boots fine on its own but when i copy over my configs folder i get the smbd thing. Did you just copy over the whole of the config folder, or did you do a selective copy of the configuration files? If you copied over the whole folder you may well have copied items like plugins that are not v6 compatible. Providing a syslog would probably allow us to verify if this is the case.

xxredxpandaxx Posted May 2, 2015 Author Share Posted May 2, 2015 I copied the folder but deleted the plugins folder. And I'll have to provide a syslog tomorrow, it's time for bed now. Quote Link to comment
Frank1940 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Read this for information for information on EXACTLY what files and folders should be copied over: http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/Upgrading_to_UnRAID_v6 Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Since this is not really a defect report suggest a mod move it to v6 General Support. If it turns out to be a defect then the actual defect report that follows the guidelines can link to it there. Quote Link to comment

There's something on your config that is killing the Samba daemon, and your best chance is to verify/remove the /boot/config/smb-extra.conf file. Quote Link to comment

jonp Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Ok, I'm starting to think we should approach this by process of elimination. Can you try doing a stock flash device (none of your old settings), then try adding files to the config folder one at a time? Specifically the shares.cfg and the shares sub folder off of the config folder... Quote Link to comment
xxredxpandaxx Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 I'll have to try this over the weekend, I'm super busy with school during the week. But I'll try that out and report back. Quote Link to comment
xxredxpandaxx Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 well I added the files one by one and i found that secrets.tdb gives me the error what is this file? Quote Link to comment
xxredxpandaxx Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 does anyone know if I can replace this file? the unraid wiki doesn't give any info about this file. Quote Link to comment
garycase Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I believe that's the samba password data store. If that's correct, you shouldn't need it -- it will be recreated when needed if you set passwords. Quote Link to comment

If that's correct, you shouldn't need it -- it will be recreated when needed if you set passwords. there is also a smbpasswd file and a passwd file wouldn't the smbpasswd file be the password for that? It says its a created file I just don't want it to mess up anything in my array. Quote Link to comment
garycase Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I'm not sure -- but there are a couple of threads in another forum that imply this file can simply be deleted and it will be recreated when needed. You'll need for one of the Limetech experts to comment on it if that's not the case. Quote Link to comment
xxredxpandaxx Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 well I guess I could always try it and then if it messes something up I can just use my back up of my flash drive that I have. Ill probably try that once my preclears finish, 8tb drives so about 2 days. Hopefully it will be faster, I'm trying out the faster preclear script. Quote Link to comment
garycase Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Hopefully one of the Linux experts will chime in before the pre-clears finish and confirm exactly what you need to do regarding that file. Quote Link to comment
xxredxpandaxx Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 Hopefully, thanks for your info though. Quote Link to comment
xxredxpandaxx Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 well my server messed up and I have to start the preclears again, but im going to delete that file and see what happens. Ill report back after I do it. Quote Link to comment
xxredxpandaxx Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 Well smb works again and it hasn't recreated the file and my server seems to be working fine. Sooo ya I guess I'm good to go without it? Quote Link to comment
garycase Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Certainly seems so ... I'd just leave well enough alone Quote Link to comment
xxredxpandaxx Posted May 24, 2015 Author Share Posted May 24, 2015 Certainly seems so ... I'd just leave well enough alone well thanks for your help, I guess I will mark this as solved so maybe some other people who have the same problem will be able to fix it. Quote Link to comment
garycase Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 The simple fact is that for ANY OS, it's always "cleanest" to just reinstall from scratch rather than moving stuff over from the previous install. Quote Link to comment
