User password change required after every TrueNAS reboot.

[Jeeves]

Hi there, I have a small 6TB TrueNAS-12.0-U8.1 RAIDZ2 system that after (re)booting (it is lightly used so sometimes turned off), I am required to change my password in order to gain access to my SMB shares. I use a non-root user ID I've created.

I am attaching to the NAS with a Mac running Catalina 10.15.7. I am using the finder command Go/Connect to Server/smb://192.168.1.1 (as example). The first time after the NAS boots, the password won't be accepted from my Mac until I web to the NAS, and go to Accounts/Users/Edit and (re)set my password. I can even just reset it to what it already was, then go back to my Mac, and successfully connect at that point. Once the NAS is up and I have reset my password once, I can "disconnect" my Mac and reconnect it, and the password is accepted on every subsequent interval.

Right now you're going, "well that's effing weird!" IKR!!

Any thoughts or tips are greatly appreciated...

Best regards & many thanks,
Gary

Attached is my startup console log if it's of any assistance. (backup8tb is a drive/volume I use sporadically so it's not plugged in presently)

That sounds like your system dataset isn't being set up correctly on boot. After reboot, what do you see for `midclt call systemdataset.config` and `df -T /var/db/system/samba4`?

Oh hell, isn't that just the way things happen to me! Now after reproducing the above literally like 8 times in a row, it is now not doing it.

I truly appreciate you taking the time to respond, here's the output of those commands. I unfortunately did not trap anything with them as now the symptom is gone.

After boot and before I connect with Mac:
root@truenas[~]# midclt call systemdataset.config
{"id": 1, "pool": "vol", "uuid": "6db47e476a87416dae61f74d2047f68f", "uuid_b": null, "is_decrypted": true, "basename": "vol/.system", "uuid_a": "6db47e476a87416dae61f74d2047f68f", "syslog": true, "path": "/var/db/system"}


root@truenas[~]# df -T /var/db/system/samba4
Filesystem Type 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
vol/.system/samba4 zfs 3472591650 377 3472591272 0% /var/db/system/samba4

I'm certainly confused, I'll keep an eye on it...

I am having the same issue. I installed core on an old pc I had laying around and for about 2 weeks it was working without this particular issue. Then 3 days ago it started forgetting my user passwords and I'm not sure what I must have changed.
