Unable to see CIF connections from a shell

[billm]

when I run "smbstatus" from the shell, I get the error
locking.tdb not initialised.

If I restart smbd and nmbd from the web admin or from the shell, the locking.tdb file is created in /var/db/samba and smbstatus works again.

I'm running FreeNAS-8.2.0-BETA2-x64 (r10638). I upgraded from FreeNAS-8.0.4-RELEASE-x64.GUI_Upgrade and before that FreeNAS-8.0.4-BETA2-x64.GUI_Upgrade.

Everything else seems to work fine. But I would like to fix this problem short of a fresh install.

Log files follow.

I got the same issue since upgrading from FreeNAS-8.0.4-RELEASE-x64 to FreeNAS-8.0.4-RELEASE-p1-x64.

Had to stop and restart smbd manually after each reboot of the server. I wrote a script for automatic shutdown of my home server which needs the correct output from smbstatus. For now it's worthless for me and I must shutdown the server by hand.

What happened between FreeNAS-8.0.4-RELEASE and FreeNAS-8.0.4-RELEASE-p1 ???

The Release Notes are usually a good place to find that out. It usually a good idea to read those before you upgrade in case something like this happens.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/freenas/files/FreeNAS-8.0.4/README/download

It would probably be a good idea to open a ticket @ support.freenas.org

@protosd: You think the issue is caused by the samba 3.6.4 upgrade? I already searched the web for any problems with this version but found nothing. Yesterday I opened a trouble ticket @ support.freenas.org.

Kind regards,
Willy

Hi Willy,

Maybe not so much specifically with Samba itself, but something with the way it was integrated into FreeNAS. It's probably a simple syntax error or small change in logic where samba gets started. Tickets are a good way to alert the developers who are familiar enough with the code to know where to check for possible problems. Right now they're working pretty hard to get 8.2 out and something simple could have easily been overlooked. Thanks for opening a ticket, it's helpful to everyone!
