FreeNAS 8.2.0 - Unable to start CIFS?

[victorhooi]

Hi,

I've just installed FreeNAS 8.2.0 Beta 2 X64 on a HP Proliant N36L Micro-Server.

When I try to start CIFS, I get an error at the top:

Code:

The service could not be started.

Is there some issue with 8.2 and CIFS? Or any way I can get more info on what's going on? (I seem to have read that in FreeNAS previously there was a logging tab or something? Can't seem to find anything here though.)

Cheers,
Victor

Victor,

I had the same problem when I did a fresh install of 8.2.0 BETA 2.

What I did to fix it was enable "Large RW Support", and "Enable AIO" under the CIFS settings under services. See attached JPG. I don't know if I just got lucky, but this is what it took for the service to start on my FreeNas.

Can you gather some info from /var/log/messages right after trying to start the service?

Hi, I'm having the same issue after making a clean fresh install from 8.0.4-MULTIMEDIA to 8.2.0: This is my "messages"

Code:

Mar 22 08:18:56 Odin root: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/smbd: WARNING: failed to start smbd
Mar 22 08:18:56 Odin notifier: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/smbd: WARNING: failed to start smbd
Mar 22 08:18:56 Odin notifier[2069]: Executing: /usr/sbin/service nmbd quietrestart
Mar 22 08:18:56 Odin notifier: nmbd not running? (check /var/run/samba/nmbd.pid).

I have no "/var/run/samba/nmbd.pid" to show though.

I touched NOTHING in the configurations. Either I am unlucky, or cifs doesn't work by default on 8.2.0 ?

Anyways, Brosif_My_Nif's "trick" did the work for me.

Kind regards,
