I just upgraded from FreeNAS-9.10.2-U5 to FreeNAS-9.10.2-U6 needless to say, I was surprised about the non-warned reboot (but whatever)
I noticed it was taking a really long time to reboot.
I went and attached a monitor and keyboard to it and on the screen it said (it stopped there)
Code:
Can't load /usr/local/etc/smb4.conf - run testparm to debug it


I hit CTRL+c and it went on its merry way.

what do I need to do to fix that?

I saw that exact same warning while applying the update, but the boot process didn't get stuck and my shares are working okay.

My shares seem to be fine as well. But having the boot process stick, is kinda uncool

Yep, not sure why mine continued. I'd have to attach a keyboard to press Ctrl+C.

just for fun, I ran testparm as it suggested. THis is the result

Code:
# testparm /usr/local/etc/smb4.conf

I noticed the same error while booting 11.0-U2 after updating from 11.0-U1. It booted fine however. Not sure if the error was present booting 11.0-U1.

Same Issue here with 11.2-U2, it waits a little but no need to attach keyboard and press CTLR+C

As another data point, I have the same issue and as far as I can remember, have had it for some time...

For me, it does not impact anything - startup is not stalled and my shares work fine.

Code:
root@host:~ # dmesg -a | grep smb4
Can't load /usr/local/etc/smb4.conf - run testparm to debug it

root@host:~ # testparm

I am having the same problem, booting got hanged up by "Can't load /usr/local/etc/smb4.conf - run testparm to debug it", had to ctrl+c to finish, but after boot all smb shares seem to work just fine. Has your problem been solved?
