CIFS and smb4.conf - need somehelp

[dvandoren]

Hello,

Ok, I'm very much a beginner with FreeNAS so I will need a bit of 'Step-by-Step' with this one. FreeNAS 9.2.1.7 was working fine for a month or so, then I lost connection on all mapped drives to the NAS. I went in to try to fix it, and thought "While im in here, I'll remove PLEX and it's jail b/c it never really worked anyhow". Well now CIFS refuse to enable. I tried many online fixes and ran into 'cannot find smb4.conf'. I am very lost, and not sure how to continue. Any advice would be appreciated!

P.S. - I was thinking about just installing a fresh FreeNAS onto the boot usb drive, but was afraid of loosing my data on the HDDs...

Hopefully I did this right. Let me know if there is anything else that can help.

Okay a few things to note off the bat -
1) You are not using ECC RAM. This is not recommended.
2) You are using less than the recommended amount of RAM. This is advised against.

That being said, I don't think that (1) or (2) are related to the problem you are experiencing.

• I don't have a 9.2.x system to look at, but there is a chance that permissions on /usr/local/etc may be wrong and that your smb4.conf file cannot be written to it.
• Post output of "ls -l /usr/local" and "ls -l /usr/local/etc"
• Post relevant log entries from /var/log/messages and /var/log/samba4/log.smbd

There may be a problem with permissions on your .system dataset.

• Post output of "getfacl /mnt/NasVolume/.system"

It is also possible that your FreeNAS install is corrupted. If there is no clear indication of where the problem lies from the above output, then

• backup/download your FreeNAS config
• get a fresh USB flash drive
• install FreeNAS 9.2.1.x on the fresh USB flash drive
• turn off server
• remove current USB flash drive and replace with new one
• boot and apply config

• Post relevant log entries from /var/log/messages and /var/log/samba4/log.smbd

This folder appears to be empty. Did 'ls -a' and no files shown.

• Post output of "getfacl /mnt/NasVolume/.system"

I have no problem doing a fresh install of FreeNAS. Resetting up permissions and users is no big deal (since I only have 3 users). I just dont want to lose my data on the drives. Is there a way (possibly a tutorial) to reestablish my pool(?) to the new install?

Thanks for taking your time to help me!

• Back up your config: System → Settings → General → Save Config
• Swap USB sticks with new one
• Restore your config
