Hi Guys

Having an issue starting the CIFs service after my nas was rebooted. It was all working fine until then.

Go to start CIFS service through GUI and get error- "The service cannot be started".

1. I have tried rebooting the NAS.
2. Confirmed the host name was different to the WORKGROUP name.
3. Set host name to all lowercase
4. Tried creating a user account and assigning permissions to volume with no luck

I run the command "testparm /usr/local/etc/smb.conf" and get the following output:

Code:

[root@nas ~]# testparm /usr/local/etc/smb.conf

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

Anything in /var/log/messages?

Thanks for the reply. I could not find anything useful in /var/log/messages

I managed to find quick solution for it. Re-image my usb with the latest freenas release (9.1.1) , set up my network adapter then use the GUI to auto import volume.
I was then able to start CIFS and access my data.

When i stopped the CIFS service to make some changes i was unable to start again. Surely this may be some sort of bug?

That's weird. You could try creating an issue at https://bugs.freenas.org/projects/freenas.
