Unable to access shares after upgrade to 9.3-BETA

[rdhamu]

I've just upgraded my FreeNAS to 9.3-BETA but now have two problems that may be related.

1. Can not resolve the Hostname but can ping the IP address. Was able to resolve before the upgrade and nothing has changed on my network
2. Can not access any of the shares. FreeNAS is showing them in the GUI and all appears to be ok no problems being reported. But can not access the shares evening using my IP address.

I am only using CIFS share due to mixed environment of Windows and MACs.

I switched of the CIFS service but now can not start it back up. Can anyone assist?

Thanks in Advance!

Do you have a software firewall on you PC MAC that would prevent it from seeing the network shares?
Do you have Files and network discovery enables in Windows?

Try to access the share as follow:
in file explorer:

\\FREENAS

or use the IP address of the system where Freenas is installed:
\\192.168.xxx.xxx

If share is up and running and you have proper address then it will show.

If still unsuccessful, go to Services, and access CIFS options.
Select amongst option the Bind IP address to be the same as you Freenas IP address.
Check the protocols too.
If everything fails, check you have DHCP enable on FREENAS and that it advertise the IP address you think it should be using. Check with DHCP allocation on your router and make sure it is setup properly too.

Thanks Apollo,

Firewalls disabled on both Windows and Mac, network discovery also enabled on Windows PC. The only thing I did not have selected is bind to IP. It is now but still can not get CIFS to start. I get an error message flash up "Unable to Start", but don't know how to access the logs.

The only change was the upgrade to 9.3-Beta. Previously everything was working a treat. Also can not get Plex plugin to start. I'm sure it's all related but can't figure out what is causing it.

I had a similar issue with Plex jail not starting, and I think I had to do some of the following: (I am currently doing it under 9.2.1.9 but should be similar under 9.3beta)

Go to Jails->Configuration:

Make sure all is setup.

Then: Jails->View Jails:
Select Plexmediaserver jail and at the bottom of screen press the Stop icon.
Repeat step with Start icon.

Then: Plugins->Installed:
Select ON.

Hopefully this will fix the issue with plugins.

Try CIFS again and see if helps.
Otherwise, I would go through the entire Freenas features in the GUI and try to spot IP related issues. This may simply be a case of address used multiple times within Freenas for different purposes.
Also, I think with 9.3beta, the jails get their address through DHCP. Is your router allocating enough IP addresses or do you have it to only allocate just a strict minimum? like one for every device you own? if that's the case, allocate more of them.

Hi

The Samba log is '/var/log/samba4/log.smbd'. Also you could enable the console output on the GUI to help find the problem.
System -> Advanced -> Show console messages in the footer

Some problems with plugins are down to using HTTPS protocol (bug). In the GUI set the protocol to HTTP.

I have also just installed 9.3 beta and had a similar problem getting CIFs to work. ISCSI worked a treat.
I finally resolved CIFS by looking at the user account for guest and I needed to clear the "Disable password login", after that all appears to work.
