SAMBA Deamon failed

My Cloud OS 3 Personal & Network Attached Storage My Cloud
1

Dear Group,

I can no longer access Windows shares on my WD My Cloud Device.

I THEN updated the firmware to v03.04.01-230, but this didn’t help.

I can access shared data on the box using FTP or SSH (WinSCP).

I tried to restart samba, but got following error message.

D2DW5:/etc/init.d# ./samba restart
[ok] Stopping Samba daemons: nmbd smbd.
[FAIL] Starting Samba daemons: nmbd failed!

What now?

Your hints/replies are very welcome. I use the box to replicate Backupdata an I need some of the files…

Best Regards

Georg

Well, that tends to indicate that your samba config file got screwed up somehow.

I would guess it’s in the [administrator] section of

/etc/samba/overall_share

file.

Post the contents of that file.

[Public]
  path = /DataVolume/shares/Public

  public = yes

END

BEGIN ## sharename = SmartWare

[SmartWare]
  path = /shares/SmartWare
  comment = SmartWare
  public = yes
  browseable = yes
  writeable = yes
  guest ok = yes
  map read only = no

END

BEGIN ## sharename = TimeMachineBackup

[TimeMachineBackup]
