SOLVED SMB refuses to start

[kainthereaper]

Hey all,

recently I made a pretty bad mistake of chowning my entire file structure to media:media.
Most of that saga can be found here: https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/help-accidentally-killed-permissions.62405/

I've been trying to fix my mistake for a couple of days now. Going to the extent of completely reinstalling FreeNAS, in the hopes that it would fix it.

However, for whatever reason my FreeNAS refuses to start the SMB service.

Checking in shell with smbstatus I get messaging_init failed

If I try to start it from the services menu I see the following exception:

Code:

I also ran testparam and got this:

I'm not really sure what is going wrong here. I probably screwed something up required for SMB to function correctly when I chowned everything to media:media. But I figured reinstalling FreeNAS and changing the ownership of every file after reimporting the volume would fix the issue.

Here are some screenshots of my setup.

Ls -l of file structure:

storage permissions of the main mount:

storage permissions for the windows subfolder:

Windows share setting:

Smb services settings:

User added to shared and media groups:

I'm not really sure what's going wrong here.
The documentation located here: http://doc.freenas.org/11/services.html#troubleshooting-smb
Seems to mention a command called: winacl

Which seems to me to probably have something to do with what I want. Considering its brings it up during a sentence about chown, and what to do if you accidentally ran it (Like I did).

But I'm not entirely sure how to run that command.
I'm also not sure if I'm even barking up the right tree or not.

Do any of you have any idea what might be going wrong here?

Thanks a bunch for taking the time to look at my post.
Cheers

Did some more snooping around.

Checking with service -e I see:

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/samba_server

In the list, but if I try service samba_service start it mentions it not existing in local start up:

Code:

[root@freenas ~]# service samba_service start																					   
samba_service does not exist in /etc/rc.d or the local startup																	 
directories (/etc/ix.rc.d /usr/local/etc/rc.d), or is not executable 

Not sure if this means anything or not.

Mostly just poking around in the dark here, the exception seems to mention root a bunch of times in fntreeSaveStateCookie but I have no idea how to resolve it.

Freenas seems to use samba version 4.7.0, maybe if I try to upgrade it to the latest version, it will do something?

So I have no idea how I fixed it. But I updated to FreeNAS 11-u3 and its working now. SMB started up no problems at all.

Not sure what happened here. But its up woo!.

Have a good one everyone!
