PeterB Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I originally posted this in the release notification thread, in case there was a known issue in rc3. However, there seem to be no other reports, so I guess that the issue only affects me: Has there been any change to SMB of which we should be aware? I know that I could access my usb flash over SMB in b15. In rc3 it's no longer possible. I cannot recall whether it was working in rc1/2. SMB Access to the boot flash from my Macs is working the same in rc3 as it did for me in b15. Working for me (Windows) too. Go to Main - Boot Device, click on Flash and check your SMB Security Settings Name: Flash Export: Yes Security: Public But it's not just the flash drive that I can't access. I have a couple of user shares which are set similarly, and those are not accessible either. More than that, as I said in my original post, browsing to the server reports 'Failed to retrieve share list from server'. In settings -> SMB I have: Enable SMB: Yes (Workgroup) Workgroup: earley Local master: Yes What is a 'Workgroup' and what is a 'Local Master'? Do I have these settings wrong - not that I've changed them recently. All I know is that I could access my flash drive a couple of weeks ago, and now I can't. I've not, knowingly, changed any settings related to shares and network. Edit: Is it significant that the following message appears on the console when I stop the array:? "smbd: no process found" Edit2: That message also appears on startup, immediately after the 'Tower login:2 prompt. I have booted in 'Safe' mode and SMB shares are still not accessible. Since then I've done a little more investigation, attempting to start smbd in interactive mode: root@Tower:~# smbd -i smbd version 4.1.17 started.

dgaschk Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 You can delete secrets.tbd. See here: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=35956.0 Quote Link to comment
PeterB Posted May 24, 2015 Author Share Posted May 24, 2015 Thanks for your response. How/where do I delete the secrets.tbd file? I find it in the root virtual disk - do I have to modify the bzroot file somehow? I've read through the topic you linked to - but it does not seem very relevant to my problem. Edit: Okay, I went ahead and simply deleted secrets.tdb from the /etc/samba/private directory. Starting smb interactively then resulted in four "Address family not supported by protocol" errors. I then went ti the GUI SMB settings and disabled/enabled SMB. This seems to have fixed the problem - I'll see what happens after the next reboot. I'm beginning to wonder whether this problem is a result of the failed rc2 -> rc3 upgrade, when my flash drive ran out of space. Quote Link to comment
