CIFS Service Startup Failed

[dr_sherman]

Hi,

I am having a fairly miserable experience with my FreeNAS installation of late! I am running the latest version of the OS and I am unable to start the CIFS service (This service cannot be started). I have not made any notable changes to my configuration and this was working at a previous date. Where can I look to see why the service is failing to start (/var/log/messages) doesn't show anything!

Thanks in advance!

You should also run the command "testparm". Sometimes FreeNAS begins to act oddly when the boot medium is on its way out, and so I wouldn't rule out the possibility that you need to reinstall FreeNAS on a fresh USB and restore a backed up config.

If you are totally at a loss about what to do, you can PM me a debug tarball (click 'system' -> 'advanced' -> 'save debug').

Thanks for the quick reply anodos,

So none of the files in that directory have been logged to since April (which is about the time that it broke and I haven't had a chance to look at since).

testparm output:

Code:

[root@roland /var/log/samba4]# testparm

set_variable_helper(yespleDouble/.bin/.AppleDesktop/Network Trash Folder/.Spotlight/.Tr): value is not boolean!                    
Error loading services. 

Not really sure this means a great deal without the service running?

Change

Code:

hide dot files = yespleDouble/.bin/.AppleDesktop/Network Trash Folder/.Spotlight/.Tr

to

Code:

hide files = yespleDouble/.bin/.AppleDesktop/Network Trash Folder/.Spotlight/.Tr

This should be an auxiliary parameter under "services" -> "cifs"

Brilliant! Working again - thank you anodos!
