SOLVED Can Not Start Cifs Service

[RemyZ]

Beforehand I had a complicated setup where every folder needed permissions tied to root. I destroyed datasets and starting from scratch in where I have a media folder with no login required and subfolders within that mainly used for Plex. After going thru the motions I have run into some roadblocks
I am unable to start the Cifs Service specifically.
Service Could not be started error messages
I have tried some of the commands listed in this post but still not working correctly
https://bugs.pcbsd.org/issues/4194
specifically the zfs destroy commands listed
I am a noob and any assistance would be most appreciated.

What error message do you get in /var/log/messages when you start cifs? Running that destroy command probably made things worse and you might have to just start over.

If you type "getent passwd" do you see your "Media" user?

 

[RemyZ]

yes

[root@FreeNas ~]# getent passwd

daemon:*:1:1:Owner of many system processes:/root:/usr/sbin/nologin
!
!
!
Media:*:816:1001:Media:/mnt/Masterpool/media:/bin/csh

 

[anodos]

yes

[root@FreeNas ~]# getent passwd

daemon:*:1:1:Owner of many system processes:/root:/usr/sbin/nologin
!
!
!
Media:*:816:1001:Media:/mnt/Masterpool/media:/bin/csh

I believe that output indicates that you checked the box "disable password login". Uncheck that box, set a password for the "Media" user, then restart the CIFS service.

 

[RemyZ]

Followed the steps listed
Unchecked the disable password login
Set a password for Media User
Restarted Cifs Service
Still the same error message
Rebooted Machine
Followed the same steps and still no improvement

Are you sure that you haven't changed the permissions on your system dataset? If that's the case, you may want to try destroying the .system dataset via CLI and let FreeNAS regenerate.

 

[Mirfster]

Psst.. CODE Tags are really really great for posting outputs of commands... :)

It's a bit hard at this point to tell what has / hasn't happened in the past. It might be a good idea to just save the config, reinstall freenas, and upload the config back.

 

[RemyZ]

Was able to delete the config. Created everything over from scratch
Able to enable CIFS and going thru the motions of installing Plex. I have a windows and mac environment
And need to setup CIFS to allow me to upload/files to the FreeNAS box. Unfortunately, I am not able to browse to the dataset i have created that has Guest Access Allowed etc. I am browsing from another Windows Machine and when I enter the freenas ip for a folder search I get nothing

 

[RemyZ]

???

 

[RemyZ]

Original Problem is resolved just cant create a guest share folder for use with Plex
